Overview

Mixedbread is an API for integrating fast, multimodal search into your applications, agents, and AI systems. Upload PDFs, images, documents, code, or video in any format and instantly make it searchable with natural language queries.

No document parsing, no embedding models to manage, no vector databases to set up. Just upload your files and start searching.

How It WorksLink to section

Create a store (your search index) and upload any file format — PDFs, images, documents, code, videos. No preprocessing required.

Mixedbread automatically understands your content, including text, images, tables, and complex layouts across 100+ languages.

Query your store using natural language. Find relevant content by meaning, not just keywords.

Receive precisely ranked results optimized for AI applications, reducing hallucinations and improving response accuracy.

Understands Any Format — Upload PDFs, images, Word documents, PowerPoint, Excel, code files, or videos. Mixedbread processes and understands the content, including visual elements, tables, and complex layouts.

Multilingual by Default — Search across 100+ languages seamlessly. Query in English, find relevant content in German, Japanese, or any other language without translation layers.

AI-Native Search — Optimized for AI applications, not just human search. Provides precise, verifiable context that reduces hallucinations and improves AI response accuracy.
