AI Vector Search (Semantic)

Descriere

AI Vector Search revolutionizes your WooCommerce store’s search experience by combining traditional keyword search with cutting-edge semantic AI technology. Built on Supabase’s powerful PostgreSQL backend with optional OpenAI embeddings, it delivers lightning-fast, highly relevant search results that understand customer intent, not just keywords.

🎯 Key Features

Smart Search Technology:
* Full-Text Search (FTS) – Lightning-fast PostgreSQL-powered keyword matching
* Semantic Vector Search – AI understanding of product meaning and context using OpenAI embeddings
* SKU & GTIN Search – Find products by partial SKU, EAN, UPC, or ISBN codes
* Hybrid Search – Combines multiple search methods for best results
* Instant Lite Mode – Built-in TF-IDF engine with synonyms, stopwords, and scheduled indexing that runs without Supabase or OpenAI

Intelligent Recommendations:
* Similar Products – AI-powered product recommendations on product detail pages
* Cart Recommendations – Smart upsell suggestions based on cart contents
* Category-Aware Suggestions – Recommendations that understand product relationships

Advanced Integrations:
* Woodmart Theme Support – Seamless integration with Woodmart’s live search
* Auto-Sync – Automatically sync products when saved/updated
* Batch Processing – Handle large catalogs with intelligent batching

Developer-Friendly:
* Secure Key Management – Encrypted storage of API keys with master key support
* Row-Level Security – Built-in Supabase RLS policies
* Comprehensive Admin Interface – Status monitoring, health checks, and sync tools

Actionable Analytics & Insights:
* Search Analytics Dashboard – Track search volume, success rate, CTR, and popular terms.
* Zero-Result Alerts – Get notified when customers search for products you do not stock yet.
* Click Tracking – Measure which products shoppers open after searching to refine merchandising.

?? Flexible Connection Modes

AI Vector Search adapts to the way you want to run search:
* Lite (default) – Instant, zero-config local search with the Lite engine and optional stopword/synonym tuning.
* Self-Hosted Supabase – Connect your own Supabase project for scalable full-text, vector, and SKU search without leaving your infrastructure.
* Managed API Service – Activate with a license key to let us host the stack while you manage settings in WordPress.

Switch between modes any time in Settings AI Supabase. Activating the managed API prompts for your license key, while Supabase mode uses your project URL, service key, and optional OpenAI key.
