💡 Why Annolux?
Current web search APIs for AI agents suffer from three fatal flaws:
- Garbage in, garbage out: Commercial search engines index millions of SEO farms, scraped spam, and auto-generated noise that pollute LLM context windows.
- Missing time-provenance: LLMs hallucinate current state because search APIs omit the exact snapshot timestamp (fetched_at).
- Predatory billing: Paying full price for failed requests, empty outputs, or rate-limited retries.
Annolux solves this with an agent-first curated approach:
- 🛡️ Curated Bilingual Technical Index: High-signal English & Chinese corpus (Rust, Go, Python, AI/ML, Official Docs, RFCs, GitHub, arXiv).
- 🕒 Explicit fetchedat Timestamp**: Every ranked hit reveals the exact second it was ingested—enabling grounded citations and temporal reasoning.
- 🎯 Predictable Ledger Billing: Exactly 1 credit per successful 2xx response. Errors, timeouts (504), rate limits (429), and bad requests cost 0 credits.
- 🧩 Native Model Context Protocol (MCP): Zero setup across Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, and Claude Desktop.
- 🚀 1,000 Free Credits Every Month: Sign in with GitHub or Google at annolux.com and start querying in 30 seconds.
