About OpenCrawl
YC company profile
High-performance hyper-personalized search indexes.
OpenCrawl Builds high-performance search indexes over hyper-personalized hard-to-find multimodal data.
Agents describe the data they need; OpenCrawl finds the sources, then builds and hosts custom crawlers, processing and search indexes. Each index is tuned to be the fastest, most accurate search over that data. Developers wire it into their products through MCP, CLI or API.
