Average search times faster by 75%

We recently used AI to group searches by topic. We found that about a quarter of searches were for a particular person or company. To address this, we optimized our system to speed up these queries.

Product updates this week

  • ✨Improved our LinkedIn profile detection. Before, 19% of profiles for people had a LinkedIn profile. Now, 67% of pages link to the person’s LinkedIn.

  • ✨ Rewrote all profile pages for companies and people. We wanted the pages to be easier to scan and more readable. So, we rewrote them all! Take a look at the page for Legalist to get an idea of the new style.

  • ✨ Added some new icons to the app, including on searches with zero results

  • 🛠️ Fixed a bug where clicking “👍” on a search result triggered the page to reload

  • 🛠️ Fixed a bug where navigating to a new page sometime didn’t scroll to the top
