Now Available: Anton for Search Evaluation

Objective is your engine for building modern, AI-native search. Built for developers, loved by users.

And trusted by great companies.

Objective is a modern, composable, search platform that understands your dataset, and understands what your users mean. Every app is becoming a search app, and every company needs a powerful engine for creating great user experiences.

AI-native search is the end-to-end integration of the best of search, paired with modern developer ergonomics, and a layer of intelligence that helps your business optimize for your goals.

“You can only do so much with manual tagging and scrubbing of results. Implementing semantic search in-house was taking very long. We saw a demo of Objective Search and it was night and day!”

Zack Onisko, CEO @ Dribbble

“We think it probably would have taken us 6 months to a year to build on our own what we ended up integrating in 3 days with Objective.”

Param Jaggi, Founder & CEO @ Agora

"What's the point of building out this entire infrastructure from the ground up for it to only be a 1000th as powerful as an API call that already exists?"

Dhruv Bindra, Founder & CEO @ Styl AI

"Using Objective’s platform meant we didn’t have to worry about infrastructure, performance, or all the different ways people like to search”

Timothy Wee, CTO @ Pod Foods

More and more companies are seeing the impact of switching to AI-native search on Objective every day, across all kinds of industries.

"Objective gave us the search capabilities we needed through an easy integration, allowing us to double down on polishing our unique core UX rather than getting distracted building search from the ground up,"

Cofounder & CEO @ Styl

“Since we turned on Objective, it feels like search is just working the way it should have always worked. We’re able to deliver results really fast and the results are exactly what the user expected. We’re able to give users the experience they expect from some of the biggest companies in the world.”

The search copilot you never knew was possible. Objective watches your user’s search queries and finds optimizations based on your goals.

“yellow rain coat”

in Multimodal Index idx_cFSueLlzKhK2

COPILOT:
The product description ('detail_desc') indicates that the coat is unlined and in a felted weave which does not match the typical characteristics of a rain coat, which is typically lined and made from a waterproof or water-resistant material.

COPILOT:
The search result is not related to the user's query of 'yellow rain coat' intended for human use. Despite the color and raincoat functionality matching, the product is specifically a 'dog coat' as stated in the product name and detail description.
