How it sells itself

Your search bar becomes an AI salesperson. When shoppers search, they instantly see products plus a short AI answer recommending relevant products — grounded in your catalog and the knowledge you upload (size charts, shipping & returns, care guides, spec sheets — PDF, DOCX, CSV, or any page URL). Follow-up chips refine conversationally. Add to cart directly from the answer.

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.

Key points
  • AI answer streams above results, recommending 1-3 products from your catalog
  • Knowledge base: upload PDFs, size charts, and FAQs for grounded answers
  • Search-as-you-type with conversational follow-up chips and add-to-cart
  • Insights dashboard: top searches, zero-result queries, clicks, and revenue
  • Recommendations can prioritize your higher-margin products first
  • Highlight campaign products and choose which items the AI can recommend
  • Customers add products to the cart directly from the conversation
  • Assisted revenue, conversion tracking, and full conversation history
