Seltz
Web search infrastructure for AI agents
Seltz is a web search API platform that supplies AI agents and applications with current web data and sources, addressing the need for reliable retrieval designed for machine reasoning rather than human-facing interfaces. It operates its own web knowledge pipeline, supporting data sovereignty and auditable behavior, and can be deployed in Seltz's cloud or in a customer's own environment.
The platform offers five endpoints sharing one index: Search for fast web retrieval, Answer for synthesis across sources, Agent for multi-step research tasks, Monitor for scheduled change tracking, and Fetch for retrieving full pages, including JavaScript-heavy sites. Search results can be filtered by category such as companies, people, news, and web. Security options include isolated infrastructure, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, zero data retention, and bring-your-own-cloud private deployments.
Seltz targets teams building AI applications, with use cases spanning sales, recruiting, finance, and prospect research. Pricing is usage-based per request or per run, with Base and Pro tiers for Search, Fetch, Monitor, and Answer, and Low through Max tiers for Agent. Enterprise plans cover custom volume pricing, batch queries, isolated infrastructure, and private cloud deployment. New accounts receive starting search credits, and qualified startups can apply for additional free credits.
