About Octen

Octen is an ultra-fast search API designed specifically for AI agents rather than human users. By decomposing complex questions into multiple sub-queries, it executes all of them simultaneously, delivering results in an impressive 62 milliseconds (P50). This innovative approach allows it to outperform traditional search providers in speed and efficiency, making it ideal for applications requiring real-time data retrieval. Its ability to handle over 1,000,000 queries per second per account and index new content within just five minutes highlights its scalability and responsiveness. With top-ranked embedding models on benchmarks like RTEB and MMEB-v2, Octen ensures highly relevant search results, optimized for AI-driven workflows. Its affordable pricing—around $1 per 1,000 calls—makes it an attractive option for enterprise and startup developers alike who need rapid, cost-effective search solutions.
