Overview
Felo is a Japan-built AI search engine whose signature strength is multilingual cross-language search. Ask a question in English and Felo pulls sources from Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and other languages, synthesizing them into one answer. Purpose-built for cross-border research, it suits teams that need primary sources across language barriers.
Key Features
1. Multilingual Cross-Language Search
Query in English and Felo collects real-time information from Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and other sources. The reverse also works — query in Japanese to reach English and Chinese sources.
2. Model Selection
Switch between GPT-5.6 (Sol / Terra / Luna), Claude Opus 5, and Claude Sonnet 5, among others. Fable Research is also available, so you can pick a different engine per research task. Fable Research now runs on Claude Fable 5.1.
3. Felo Agent / Agent Store
Build your own no-code AI assistants and publish or share them through the Agent Store. Agent execution step limits can now be set to 50 or 100.
4. Felo Connect
An integration layer that brings live search, deep research, X intelligence, and presentation generation into coding agents such as Codex, Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Hermes Agent.
5. AI Presentation Generation
Generates slides, mind maps, and posters with AI. The annual plan includes unlimited PowerPoint generation, enabling a full research-to-deck pipeline. AI Slides translation now loads pages on demand, so large files translate noticeably faster.
6. Real-Time Social Data Integration
Pulls real-time data from Reddit, Twitter/X, and other social platforms — surfacing up-to-the-minute voices that typical web search misses.
7. Topics / Document Handling
Summarize YouTube videos and analyze URLs; Topics now processes and cites PDFs page by page, and CSV uploads auto-detect and convert certain non-UTF-8 encodings. Upload limits are 50 MB for Enterprise and 25 MB for personal accounts.
8. Image Generation
Beyond GPT Image 2, you can now pick Nano Banana 2 Lite or Grok Imagine. 4K resolution and solid text rendering make it usable for marketing materials and posters.
