OSO is a censorship-free AI Search Engine that scans the entire internet using advanced AI to find and summarize relevant information. OSO also has an unrestricted AI chat, allowing users to ask any question, enabling unrestricted access to information.
Hey everybody! This is our first launch of OSO - we've been working on it the past 8 months.
The mission behind OSO is to create a better way for people to access information and interact with technology.
We've developed an AI Search Engine that reads through the entire internet, pulls out relevant information, and delivers a detailed summary - saving users immense time over endless scrolling through traditional search engines to piece together fragmented information.
We also trained our own censorship-free AI Chat, because we were alarmed by the big tech censorship of common LLMs and believe that freedom of information and letting people formulate their own opinions is critical for a bright future.
In the near future we will be combining AI Search and Uncensored Chat into a unified UI and opening up our API so anyone can build applications on-top of OSO.
We would love your feedback so we can continue building OSO to benefit our users. We prioritize new features based on community votes - from within the app menu you can request features, report bugs, make suggestions, and vote on what other users have suggested.

Thanks for taking the time to check out OSO!
@ena_gluhakovic We utilize domain authority and a multitude of other factors in an attempt to extract information with the highest likelihood of being accurate and dependable. If you find any inaccuracies, you have the option to downvote, which will prompt OSO to re-evaluate the data and learn from your feedback.
@edward_sturm OSO will always give you both sides of any topic, even highly controversial ones, and let you form your own opinion. For example, if you ask what are the economic and societal impact of legalizing marijuana, it will give you both pros and cons; whereas other AI Chats will say, "Marijuana is illegal and bad or I can't answer that question" - even though it has been legalized in many places.
@mikstampe that's a very interesting question. To be truely censorship-resistant we have to migrate away from centralized infrastructure. This can be done with innovations in other areas such as compression and potentially web3 technology. Running LLMs locally on your own devices in combination with having a community owned network that has moderation controls is curerntly the most feasible solution in the nearish-term.
@aiian That sounds super inspiring, thanks for the thorough answer.
Being censorship-resistant (and unbiased for that matter) should really be at the core of all AIs. It seems logic, so why do you think this isn't a priority for ChatGPT, BARD, etc?
@mikstampe I believe its due to an uncertain regulatory environment where companies are afraid of liability. However, our stance is that any tech product or tool can be used malicously, and the liability should be on the end user as it always has been. for example google doesn't get in trouble when someone uses it to research malicious activities or apple/microsoft when their computers and programs are used to conduct malicous activities.
Andreessen has a different view that's a bit more conspiracy https://x.com/pmarca/status/1761...
I've run up against these types of limitations in creating visual content that has a political commentary nature. It's unfortunate that this is so heavily regulated because if it's done with an explicit open intention and not attempting to deceive viewers it should be just commentary. Until then my idea of blending Picasso's Guernica w the patterns of a Kufiya will have to wait.
@yasnokry right now there is about a 15-20 second delay while it scans the internet and pulls out the information relevant to your search, in the next few months we will integrate it with chat so it's more like perplexity. Right now we're getting a lot of positive reviews for research use cases and niche searches that would take an hour or more to find answers to, so people don't mind waiting a bit to get the answers.
Let us know what you think! It's just our first iteration.
@abhilash_chowdhary Thanks! let us know how you like our first iteration - you can give feedback directly from the app menu, and we prioritize development based on upvotes by our users.

Great tool. Congratulations on the launch! I recently registered. I had previously used Perplexity AI and Phind.com; OSO is distinct, and I enjoyed the news feed and summarizing tool.
@aiian First of all, this is censorship-free, and it has a news feed summarization feature,deep search, and a lot more. By the way, does OSO have API support?. I sent you one connection request in LinkedIn. I want to discuss with you the model OSO use. can you accept it?
@ciro_cayo_de_leon_burgos from feedback of our early users we actually created a better LLM than either of those. We like focusing on micro, specialized LLMs and creating a routing framework so they can interoperate.
Seems to be anong the most powerful and needed tools in modern times when we need to use the power of new technologies while remaining independent from myriads large actors, such as govs and corps.
I'll certainly spend some time to check OSO up and down, thank you!
@al_arthen_factory awesome! you can give feedback directly within the app menu -> feedback, and suggest new features. You can also vote on features others have suggested - we prioritize development based on community votes.
@aiian It probably was due to my gazillion chrome blocker extensions. In any case. FTUX was a bit of an init turnoff. you should let users try it like 2-3 times before signup is needed. But I gave it a shot anyways. And I really like it so far. Much deeper than perplexity which has become rather low quality as of late. probably due to high traffic demands. Im curious how you will make money tho? If it remains free, then I think google is in trouble 😅
@sentry_co yeah it looks like it was an 0auth error on refresh. once we have funding we're going to actually get rid of mandatory log-in and just make it optional for saving searches, api access, and business features. Just have to control costs in the short-term.
Monetize off api usage for business, and affiliate revenue for consumer search.
@aiian Sweet! Well as a testimonial from an early user. I added it to a permanent chrome tab. next to codemate.bot phind.com perplexity. will be using it for the next few days and recommend it to a few networks etc.
When I copy the summaries it gives. Everything is in one line. I can restructure it with GitHub copilot to have proper formatting, but adding a copy to clipboard button might be useful?
Congratulations on the launch! How does OSO navigate the delicate balance between freedom of information and ensuring the reliability of the content it retrieves, avoiding the spread of misinformation? Additionally, what sets OSO apart from ChatGPT, its main competitor?
In the upcoming weeks we will be opening up the OSO API to the public, so anyone can integrate real-time AI Search, Censorship-Free Chat, and image generation (coming soon), into any application via zapier or custom API integration. Enabling countless workflows to be automated and new use cases for content generation, influencers, and marketers.
