Seek.js — AI search for any static site

Project scope redefined

Seek is now a thin open-source integration layer: AI search for any static site. One command, no backend, no vendor account. There is still no working implementation — everything documented here is the target design.

Retired: the four-module SDK (@seekjs/parser, @seekjs/compiler, @seekjs/ai-edge), the custom binary index format, build-time embedding, browser-side vector search, and the "Vector Database Tax" framing. Browser semantic search needs the query embedded in the browser, and the index-size claim was wrong by roughly 8x.
Cancelled: the managed platform and every paid tier. Orama Cloud's free plan already offers unlimited queries and answers, and Algolia DocSearch is free for docs sites, so there was no rationale for one.
New shape: seek build ./dist wraps Pagefind for instant local search, and an "Ask AI" click calls a one-file serverless function you own, which reasons over the same index with a search tool and answers with citations that cannot be fabricated.
Site: pricing page removed, invented testimonials and team photos removed, and a status section added to the landing page and docs so the v0 stage is stated plainly.
Docs: architecture, packages, comparison, and roadmap all rewritten. The comparison page now credits Pagefind, Algolia DocSearch, Orama Cloud, ask0, and DocsGPT fairly and states where Seek loses.
