Agentic, generative, and classic search in one retrieval platform
Deliver AI-driven keyword and neural results so users find what they are looking for quickly.
Generate suggestions from behavioral cues and personalize results for each user across their journey.
Let shoppers ask questions in natural language and receive grounded answers via retrieval-augmented generation.
Pin products, promote campaigns, and adapt ranking strategies on category and collection pages without engineering support.

Web search API and crawler built for AI agents
Run natural-language or keyword queries against a large independent web index with filters for domain, date and category.
Return cleaned page text and AI-extracted highlights so agents receive the most relevant excerpts instead of entire pages.
Choose fast, balanced or deep search modes so an assistant can answer instantly or run longer grounded research.
Extract structured outputs such as company details, people and other entities for list building and data pipelines.
