When AI agents search the web, they need accurate, reliable results—not ads, spam, or SEO-gamed content. They need a search engine built for truth, not clicks.
Today we're excited to highlight Andi Search, a next-generation AI search engine now available on Orthogonal.
What is Andi Search?
Andi is an AI-powered search engine that works like humans do—combining language models with reasoning and common sense. Unlike traditional search engines that rely on snippets and ranking signals, Andi reads and understands full page content to deliver accurate, synthesized answers.
Loved by over 1 million users worldwide, Andi has been benchmarked to beat Google on AI accuracy. And it does all this while being completely private—no logging, no tracking, no ads.

// Using @orth/sdk - The simplest way to call APIs
// Install: npm install @orth/sdk
import Orthogonal from "@orth/sdk";
const orthogonal = new Orthogonal({

console.log(output);Using x402 Protocol
Andi Search on Orthogonal also supports x402—an open protocol that enables native payments in HTTP. With x402, your agents can pay for API calls directly using USDC stablecoins, with no API keys required.
// Install: npm install x402-fetch viem
import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "x402-fetch";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
const privateKey = process.env.PRIVATE_KEY;
if (!privateKey) {
throw new Error("PRIVATE_KEY environment variable is required");
}
const account = privateKeyToAccount(
privateKey.startsWith("0x") ? privateKey : `0x${privateKey}`,
);
const fetchWithPayment = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, account);
// Make a paid request - payment is automatic
const query = "best practices for RAG applications";
const url = `https://x402.orth.sh/andi/v1/search?q=${encodeURIComponent(query)}`;
const response = await fetchWithPayment(url, { method: "GET" });
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);x402 enables a new paradigm where AI agents can autonomously pay for services using stablecoins—no subscriptions, no API key management, just seamless agent-to-agent payments.
