See every featureSmart Search adds an AI chatbot to your store that understands what customers are looking for. Instead of browsing and filtering, customers describe what they need in plain language and get instant product recommendations. The assistant knows your full catalog, answers questions about sizing and policies, compares products side by side, and guides customers through variant selection to add items directly to cart.
Shoppers leave when their questions go unanswered. Rynex adds an AI agent to your storefront that answers product questions, searches your catalog, and recommends items customers can add to cart in the chat. You stay in control: prioritize higher-margin products, highlight campaign items, choose what the AI can recommend, and auto-exclude out-of-stock items.
