Search

‘Search’ is a planned native tool for Jan that rethinks web search. Instead of just giving you a list of links to sift through, it understands your question, scours the web, and provides a direct, synthesized answer with sources cited.

Think of it as a private, self-hosted alternative to services like Perplexity.ai, integrated directly into your AI assistant.
