# AISight

Paste one address into AISight's SearXNG Server URL field, and the app searches through SpecStream's Search API. There is no SearXNG instance to host or keep unblocked.

[SpecStream for AISightAI assistants](https://specstream.ai/integrations/aisight.md)

## What you need

-   AISight on iOS 26 or macOS 26, from the [App Store (opens in a new tab)](https://apps.apple.com/app/aisight-ai-search-answers/id6761124676).
-   A SpecStream API key. New accounts get $10 of credit on sign-up, no card. [Get your key](https://specstream.ai/workspace/search?route=searxng&utm_source=aisight&utm_medium=howto) on the Search API screen of your workspace.

    ## 1. Put your key in the address

    AISight has one field for the search server and no field for a key, so the key goes in the address. AISight adds `/search` by itself, so the address ends with the key. Keep the key in the path: AISight refuses an address with a user name or password before the host, such as `https://key@api.specstream.ai`.

    Put your key in place of `YOUR_SPECSTREAM_KEY`:

    SearXNG Server URL

    ```text
    https://api.specstream.ai/searxng/YOUR_SPECSTREAM_KEY
    ```

    ## 2. Paste it in Settings

    Open the **Settings** tab. Under **Search Server**, paste the address into **SearXNG Server URL** and tap **Activate and Test**.

    AISight sends one search for the word `test`. When SpecStream answers, AISight shows **Connected** with the time in milliseconds and keeps the address. It also shows **Unlimited searches and Deep Search unlocked with your own server**, because the address is no longer the app's default server.

    ## 3. Ask

    Open the **Search** tab and ask a question. AISight sends it to SpecStream with `format=json`, reads each result's `title`, `url` and `content`, then fetches the pages and writes the answer with citations, on your device by default.

## What AISight sends, and what comes back

| AISight sends | SpecStream |
| --- | --- |
| `q`, your question | Searched as written, with operators such as `site:` |
| `format=json` | SearXNG's JSON: `results[]` with `title`, `url` and `content`, and `answers` when the search reads one |
| `language` | Passed to the search engines that take it |
| `engines=google,bing,brave` and `categories=general` | Accepted with no error. They do not change the search |
| No key | The key in the address: `https://api.specstream.ai/searxng/<key>` |

## If the test fails

**Connection failed. Server not activated.** means SpecStream refused the call, and AISight goes back to the server it used before. Check that the whole key is in the address and that the key can spend: a key made with no scopes can read and cannot search. Keys made on the Search API screen can search.

## Privacy settings on the key

Two settings on a SpecStream key suit an app built for privacy. With zero retention, a search keeps no request text and no answer after the reply. With EU egress only, searches leave from SpecStream's server in Madrid and reach each engine directly. The account owner turns them on with `PATCH https://api.specstream.ai/v1/account/keys/{id}` and `{"zero_retention": true}` or `{"eu_egress_only": true}`, in their signed-in session.

## Cost

Each search AISight sends is one Search API call on the fast tier, which costs a fifth of the default search's $5 per 1,000 searches of up to 10 results. **Activate and Test** sends one search. It comes out of your balance, with no quote and no approval, and a call that returns no results costs nothing. AISight reads the pages itself, so there is no page reading charge. New accounts start with $10 of credit, no card.

## Go back to the default server

In **Settings**, tap **Use Default Server**. Revoke the key under **Agents & API**, then **API keys**, in your workspace when you stop using it. Questions go to [support@specstream.ai](mailto:support@specstream.ai).
