Accel-backed Keenable is indexing the web for AI agents

Keenable, founded by former Yandex executive Andrey Styskin and AI researcher Matthias Petri, has built a web-scale index of over 100 billion documents and raised $26 million in seed funding led by Accel. Its API, already used by AI labs and a voice-AI partner, narrows search space quickly to lower costs for agentic queries, positioning the startup as a cost-effective alternative to Google’s limited search APIs.
