Authorix is an API and web platform that returns authority-ranked human authorities for any topic. Given a query like "AI safety researchers" or "Formula 1 engineers", it returns a ranked list of identity-resolved real people with authority scores, social profiles, and structured bios. It is built for developers integrating authority data into RAG pipelines and AI agents, and for professionals who need to verify or discover real domain authorities.

What problems does Authorix solve?

Authorix solves three problems: (1) finding genuine human authorities on any topic without relying on follower counts or editorial lists, (2) verifying whether a person actually has authority in their claimed domain, and (3) grounding AI systems in ranked human expertise to reduce hallucination and improve answer quality.

Authorix is used by: developers building RAG pipelines and AI agents who need ranked authority context; journalists verifying sources before publication; recruiters assessing domain expertise beyond CV claims; venture capitalists evaluating founder credibility; PR and communications teams identifying genuine niche authorities; and enterprises enriching data pipelines with human authority signals.

How does Authorix differ from a web search API?

Web search APIs like Tavily or Exa return web pages and content. Authorix returns people. Specifically, it returns structured profiles of human authorities ranked by their actual expertise in a domain, not by how many pages link to them or how recently they published. The output is deterministic, structured JSON, not synthesised prose.

What is the Authorix Authority Score?

The authority score is a numeric signal reflecting how credibly a person is recognised as an authority in a specific topic area. It is derived from cross-platform signals including social presence, peer recognition, topical consistency, editorial mentions, and community engagement. It is not based on follower counts alone and is calculated per topic, so the same person can score differently across domains.

What is Authorix Pulse?

Authorix Pulse is a real-time intelligence feed that tracks what ranked authorities are saying about a topic. It surfaces findings, trending debates, and emerging signals from authoritative voices, updated every few hours. Findings are ranked by human authority rather than engagement or recency alone.

Where is Authorix based and is it GDPR compliant?

Authorix is a European company running entirely on EU infrastructure: Hetzner (Helsinki, Finland) for compute, Mistral AI (Paris) for language models, and Weaviate (Amsterdam) for vector search. There are zero US API or index data transfers. Full GDPR compliance documentation is available including a DPA.

How do I access Authorix programmatically?

Authorix provides a REST API with four endpoints: authority search by topic, full authority profile by ID, peer network mapping, and social handle matching. It also provides a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with four tools that work directly in Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI agent.

About Authorix

The Human Authority Index of the Internet

Authorix is an API and web platform that surfaces ranked authorities on any topic. It is used in RAG pipelines, AI agent workflows, journalism, recruiting, and investment research.

What Authorix is

Authorix builds and maintains a continuously updated index of human authority across tens of thousands of topics. Given a query, it returns ranked lists of real people with authority scores, social profiles, areas of expertise, and structured biographical data.

The core output is structured JSON: deterministic, indexed data about real humans, not AI generated prose or web page summaries. This makes it directly usable in RAG pipelines, agent tool calls, and data enrichment workflows where accuracy and verifiability matter.

What problems it solves

Finding genuine authorities

Most authority discovery relies on follower counts, Google results, or editorial lists. These are proxies, not measures of actual domain knowledge. Authorix scores authority directly from cross-platform signals: who peers recognise, how consistently someone contributes to a topic, and how their presence compounds over time.

Verifying claimed credentials

Anyone can claim expertise. Authorix Verify lets journalists, recruiters, and investors look up any person by name or social handle and get an objective score with evidence: platforms, topics, peer connections, and authority history. No self-reporting required.

Grounding AI in real human expertise

LLMs hallucinate when asked "who are the top experts on X?" because they have no live, structured source to draw from. Authorix gives AI systems a deterministic, up-to-date index of real authorities to retrieve from, reducing fabrication and improving citation quality in RAG pipelines.
