Overview
AI search engine for developers with cited technical answers. YC S22. Free tier; Pro from $17/mo. VS Code extension available.
What you get
AI-driven code generation from prompts and selections. Phind also brings a developer-focused workflow that respects existing tools and conventions. Tools in this category provide raw model access (completions, chat, vision, embeddings, structured outputs, tool use) usually with a generous range of model sizes and modalities. Expect SDKs for popular languages, streaming, batch, and increasingly, agentic primitives like tool calling and computer use.
Where it fits in your stack
They sit at the bottom of the AI stack: app builders, agents, and assistants are layered on top. Most production users pair the API with a thin orchestration layer, prompt management, evaluation harness, and an observability product to keep cost and latency in check.
Who it’s for
Phind is aimed primarily at engineering teams. When evaluating, weigh model quality on tasks that matter to you, context window, latency, throughput, pricing per token, fine-tuning options, data-handling guarantees, and the rate-limit story under real load.
Pricing & licensing
Available as a free tier with paid plans for higher usage and team features. Pricing changes regularly, so check Phind’s site for the current plans, free-tier limits, and any recent additions before you commit.
