Neeva to Shut Down Consumer Search Product to Focus on LLM Expertise

In a statement released today, search engine Neeva announced it will be shutting down its consumer search product in the next few weeks and shifting its focus to explore the use of large language models (LLMs) in enterprise settings. Neeva made headlines earlier this year for providing cited, real-time AI answers to a majority of queries, but struggled to overcome the challenges of acquiring and retaining users. The shutdown includes the deletion of all user data, while those with a paid subscription to Neeva Premium will receive a refund for the unused portion of their subscription. Neeva will provide updates on the future of its work and team in the coming weeks.
