Cryo is a search engine for the web before the AI-content flood, helping you discover authentic, human-written knowledge from a frozen pre-2022 corpus, ranked for relevance and authenticity.
The web is increasingly difficult to trust: search results are crowded with generated summaries, SEO pages, and content farms. I built Cryo to make older, genuinely human-written knowledge easier to find again.
Cryo searches a frozen pre-2022 corpus and uses an authenticity-aware ranking approach alongside relevance. It’s a research prototype, and we’d love to learn: what kinds of information do you most want to retrieve from the human web?

A 2021 cutoff is clever but the AI flood really started ramping up in late 2022 and exploded in 2023, so a lot of low-quality content slipped in just before your freeze date. Have you considered letting users flag or exclude results from specific domains like content farms or SEO blogs, even within the pre-2022 corpus? It would help surface more genuine voices like forum posts, personal blogs, and academic writing over the keyword-stuffed stuff.

@fahrettinacrg9 Thank you for the feedback and that’s a great point. The cutoff is a useful guardrail, not a guarantee of quality content farms and keyword-stuffed pages existed well before generative AI.
Domain-level exclusion and stronger source controls are exactly the kind of feedback we’re looking for. I want Cryo to give users more control over what "authentic" means for their research, whether that’s prioritizing forums, personal blogs, academic sources, or excluding low-quality domains altogether.

The pre-2022 cutoff is a clever anchor, and I love how the relevance and authenticity ranking actually shows up as a real filter instead of buried in advanced settings. Clean execution.

@ayfersayhan Thank you, that means a lot. I wanted the cutoff and authenticity signal to be visible because they’re central to how Cryo works, not hidden implementation details. Still early, so feedback on how those filters should evolve is especially valuable.
