We're live with our Deep Dive on Brave's Search API with VP, Search Engineering - Subu Sathyanarayana!
Brave's Search API powers your favorite AI apps ??
Brave’s Search API has quickly become an essential tool for AI developers, search engines, and businesses looking for an alternative to Google and Bing. As Microsoft increased Bing API pricing and Google remained largely inaccessible, Brave stepped in to provide a cost-effective, independent search API with real-time web data.
The API is now used by top AI companies for both LLM inference and training, with applications in RAG, AI-driven search features, and citation generation. Companies like Anthropic, Cursor, Cline, and Windsurf use it to power AI chat experiences, while traditional search engines like Kagi and Swisscows rely on Brave Search as a core provider. The API has also been adopted in education and enterprise software, with use cases in platforms like Chegg and Turnitin.
In this conversation, Subu discusses how the Search API evolved into a key part of Brave’s ecosystem, how developers are using it today, and the opportunity in building an independent search engine at scale.
