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.
The collaborative whiteboard built for product builders
AI Flowcharts, AI Mind Maps and AI Wireframes convert a short text prompt into structured, fully editable diagrams, branched mind maps, or web and mobile wireflows — no manual drawing required.
Boards host diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, wireframes, embedded media and documents side by side, so a whole product narrative lives in a single shareable file.
Multiple teammates edit the same board simultaneously with live cursors, thread comments attached to specific objects, and mention-based notifications.
Drag-and-drop UI components let teams sketch screens, link them into clickable flows and iterate on product ideas before engineering commits to a build.
Industry standard collaborative whiteboarding with massive template libraries, but less streamlined for rapid AI diagram generation.
