Neeva was positioning itself as private search, that was high quality and was going to deliver “answers”. They looked oh so cool and useful until ChatGPT erupted on the scene and got 10billion in funding. Then Bing began to offer many of the features of Neeva minus the privacy. Now Snowflake has a team of smart kids with AI skills, and it makes total sense to accelerate their product roadmaps this way. Tough for the Neeva crew, they got caught in an innovation tidalwave.

- emrah 3y agoThese are not necessarily good excuses for their failure. Kagi has the same USP and they are doing fine presumably (I have no relation to either) Maybe they mismanaged their money and/or time or failed to deliver on the tech maybe.
- 1123581321 3y agoSimilar USP now, but I thought Kagi built up to it the right way by building just a few features on search engine APIs and repeatedly asking people what they would actually pay for. They also appeared not to overstaff in anticipation of future revenue.
