# AI Search

AI Search allows you to discover creators using natural language or image queries. Under the hood, it uses vector similarity search to find profiles and content that most closely match the concepts in your prompt. You can also combine these AI queries seamlessly with standard filters.

When to use it: This endpoint is ideal when your criteria go beyond basic metrics. Use it instead of regular Search when you require rich context about a creator's personal identity and niche, or when trying to match a specific visual style.
Choose regular search endpoints when the workflow is mainly filter-based without needing semantic search over post content.

AI Search is limited to creators with more than 10,000 followers.
