Serca: AI-Powered Media Search Engine
"We find what the internet forgot"
What is Serca?
Serca is an advanced search engine powered by AI and intelligent web scraping technology. It
builds a comprehensive database by gathering URLs and their descriptions, enabling users to
search using natural language. This allows for faster, more intuitive, and accurate search
results, transforming the way people find information online.
How does this service work?
We are committed to being as transparent as possible. We will maintain a free version to
contribute to the betterment of the internet. Additionally, Serca will offer a paid version
with extra features and support. This paid service will be tiered, providing enhanced services
and search capabilities. While the internet is an amazing place, and we all love it!! It's not
all sunshine and rainbows. Serca will implement a flagging system to mark inappropriate
content, which will be inaccessible at the free tier. Paid tiers will have access to this
content. Furthermore, all illegal content will be banned and reported to the proper
authorities. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
Under the hood
- Multimodal AI models (image, video, and audio[coming soon]) to analyze and process
various types of media.
- Advanced web scraping and discovery techniques to uncover hidden media across
the web.
- Edge computing systems to minimize environmental impact by processing data closer
to the source.
Sample Queries
Here are some sample queries to try. Please see search page for specifics.

API Development
September 15, 2025 | Development Milestone
Between summer and school I haven't been able to work on this as I should be. But in that time I managed to build an AI embedding search engine that I think will work well here.
As such I will be implementing it into Serca.

Back end and AI updates
May 17, 2025 | Development Milestone
It has been a bit since we added anything to announcements. We've been putting a ton of work into building out the backend.
The entire AI pipeline and inference has been moved off of the cloud and can now run on a M1 Mac.
It's important that we can run Serca on hardware that doesn't cost $10,000. Next is building out the API and search engine.
