ceramic

Ceramic develops a web-scale search API for AI and LLMs that provides real-time web search capabilities at 100x lower cost and 10x faster speed than competing solutions, priced at $0.05 per 1,000 queries with 50ms response times across over 40 billion web pages. The platform enables AI agents, chatbots, and answer engines to access current information beyond LLM training cutoffs, supporting use cases including high-frequency agentic search, real-time verification and fact-checking, RAG context grounding, and enterprise private data indexing. Ceramic is SOC 2 Type II certified with zero data retention, offering dedicated support, custom rate limits, and private data indexing capabilities for enterprise deployments. The API delivers async job submission, webhooks, and agent-ready integration for programmatic access. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Mountain View, California, the company has raised approximately $12M in seed funding. Ceramic differentiates itself by making search costs negligible compared to LLM inference costs, enabling AI applications to perform dozens of searches per task at a fraction of traditional search API pricing.
