See every featureHiveBee adds AI understanding to your store’s search. Shoppers type full sentences or partial details in any language, ask follow-up questions and get matching products, even with no exact match. Use it as a chat assistant, as an upgrade to your existing search bar, or both – installed via theme app extension, no code.

Searchmind replaces the default search experience with an intent-based search engine that understands natural language, corrects typos and synonyms, and returns only products available in the store’s catalog and stock.
- Conversational product discovery with follow-up queries.
- Context-aware sessions within a single search flow with fallback search.
- Automatic language detection and multilingual support!
- Returns available alternatives instead of empty search results.
