Hi Andi fam, hope you're doing well. 🙂

Quick April update. We shipped API v1.5, first AI agent customer deployed Andi into production, API usage up 76% MoM, and we cut burn while adding $179K in new credit grants.

April goals: Onboard waitlist | $1K MRR ($91) | Bookface launch (deferred to May, 3rd time) | Enterprise customer ⏳ (Firecrawl, Uber AI advancing)

Metrics

  • API Revenue: $91 (+69% MoM from $54)

  • API Queries: 6,412 (+76% MoM from 3,637)

  • Active API Users: 64 (+357% from ~14 in March), 101 total registered

  • Index: 16B+ pages (up from 15.7B+)

  • MAU: 125K (-18% MoM — consumer deprioritized for API build)

$91

  • Cash: $160 Brex

  • Credits: $728K cloud compute. Added $179K new grants (DigitalOcean $75K, Cursor $84K, Brightdata $20K)

  • Burn: $4,887/mo (-23% from $6,343)

  • Runway: 0 months cash; 149 months with credits

Asks

  • Intros to AI agent startups that need a search API for RAG or agentic workflows, especially teams frustrated with Parallel/Perplexity/Brave API accuracy

  • If you're building with AI tools, try Andi's MCP server in Claude Code or Cursor: https://docs.andiai.com/mcp

Highlights

  • First production customer: Uzair Hayat / Arlo rolled Andi API into their AI Chief of Staff for data enrichment. "It's working beautifully for our data enrichment pipelines."

  • Waitlist cleared: Legit users who registered through mid-April onboarded — 59 of 94 total signups activated, 24 new registrations this month

  • Partnerships advancing: Angela spoke at DigitalOcean Deploy in SF (DO paid flights + accommodation), 2-day in-person meeting with Firecrawl, visited Uber AI HQ (Adwait Joshi re API and evals), Brave partnership with credits and possible browser integration

  • Shipping velocity: API v1.5 released. ~200 commits across 6 repos. Image Search with semantic and quality ranking, unified classification system, location-aware search v1.5.0, on-demand (x402) agent-native payments support

  • YC Advisor V2: 353 S26 applications reviewed in last 14 days, 34 founders given in-person reviews https://yc-advisor.andiai.com

  • User feedback: "Way better than Parallel" (Parallel raised Series B from Sequoia)

Lowlights

  • $1K MRR target missed. $91 actual. Revenue growing but not fast enough. AH's top priority.

  • Bookface launch deferred a third time. Concrete plan for May with batch deal + agent-native features.

  • Cash: $160. Credits cover compute but many services require cash. Credits exhausted on GCP/AWS. Financial constraints slowing API rollout.

Shoutouts

  • Sean Zhou from Acacia Venture Capital Partners for qualitative search API evals vs competitors

  • DigitalOcean for credits + flying Angela to Deploy conference

  • Tim Trumper for sales strategy guidance

  • Justin Rhee and Porter team for patience with payment delays and tech support

  • Daniel Reisfeld and Chirag Pancholi for support and encouragement

  • David White and Celesta Hoover for continued emergency funding

  • Ongoing patience from WSGR, Fondo, Pulley

Goals for May

  • $400 revenue from Developer and Team self-service accounts

  • Launch API on YC Bookface with agent-native features + batch deal

  • Kick off PLG/devrel campaigns: API, AIRun, YC Advisor

  • Close first enterprise customer

Running on vapor, shipping fast.
