What happened?

Keenable has exited stealth mode and secured $26 million in a seed funding round. The company is building a specialised web search index designed for use by autonomous AI agents. While traditional search engines are optimised for human users, Keenable’s index focuses on structuring web information for machine readability and agent-based processing.

Why it matters

As development shifts from simple chatbots to autonomous AI agents capable of performing complex tasks, the need for search infrastructure adapted for machines is increasing. Traditional search engines often return links and webpages tailored for human eyes, whereas Keenable provides structured data that AI agents can act upon quickly.

Who is affected?

Developers of AI agents, companies building autonomous workflows, and organisations requiring structured, real-time data from the web are directly affected by the launch.

Impact on the EU

The platform is available globally and is subject to general data protection laws, such as the EU's GDPR, regarding data collection and web indexing.

What else you should know

The funding round was led by Accel and will be used to expand Keenable’s infrastructure and indexing capacity.
