AI search and retrieval platform for modern apps and commerce
Deliver keyword, semantic, and hybrid results from a single index, with natural-language query understanding built in.
Create, test, and deploy AI agents, and generate grounded conversational answers via retrieval-augmented generation over your own content.
Use behavioral signals to surface related products and tailor results to each visitor's journey.
Curate category pages, pin or boost items, and track performance in dashboards without engineering support.

Turn plain text into diagrams, infographics, and presentation-ready visuals.
Paste or import your text and Napkin generates infographics, diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, and data charts that fit your content.
Napkin Slides collaborates with you to turn ideas into complete, ready-to-present decks rather than static images.
Adjust colors, fonts, layouts, and icons, reshape individual elements, and match your brand — nothing is locked after generation.
Export visuals as PPT, PNG, PDF, or SVG and drop them into PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote, Notion, or any tool you already use.
