Phind
Phind was an AI-powered search engine built for developers that answered technical questions with code examples and source citations.
About
Phind was a developer-focused search engine that combined AI language models with live web retrieval to answer coding questions directly, rather than returning a list of links to sift through. It supported a 32K token context window, offered a VS Code extension for in-editor questions, and verified generated code against documentation to reduce hallucinations. The tool offered a free tier alongside paid Plus and Pro plans. Phind shut down in January 2026, citing rapid commoditization of AI developer search by foundation-model providers that built similar capabilities into their own products.
