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.
Real-time web search and retrieval APIs built for AI agents
Returns ranked, LLM-ready results with highlights and optional full content, designed to hold steady latency even under very high query concurrency.
Automatically splits one complex question into parallel sub-queries and merges the results, giving agents broader coverage from a single call.
Dedicated embedding families for text and for vision-language retrieval, letting teams embed pages, images, video, and documents into a shared vector space.
Turns any URL into clean Markdown with intent-focused highlights and a classified page type, so downstream models receive structured, noise-free input.
