Faster searches, more LinkedIn profiles, and how we build with AI

Find AI is an AI-powered search engine for tech companies and people.

We’ve been busy making the product better based on your feedback, and have a lot of improvements to share this week - along with a behind-the-scenes look of how we build AI.

Average search times faster by 75%

We recently used AI to group searches by topic. We found that about a quarter of searches were for a particular person or company. To address this, we optimized our system to speed up these queries.

Product updates this week

  • 🆕You can now search a company by its domain. Try searching usefind.ai or
  • Improved our LinkedIn profile detection. Before, 19% of profiles for people had a LinkedIn profile. Now, 67% of pages link to the person’s LinkedIn.
  • Rewrote all profile pages for companies and people. We wanted the pages to be easier to scan and more readable. So, we rewrote them all! Take a look at the page for Legalist to get an idea of the new style.
  • ✨ Added some new icons to the app, including on searches with zero results
  • 🛠️ Fixed a bug where clicking “👍” on a search result triggered the page to reload
  • 🛠️ Fixed a bug where navigating to a new page sometime didn’t scroll to the top
