Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureYour 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.
Sterk Find replaces the dead-end search box with an AI personal shopper. Instead of expecting customers to know the right keywords, it asks a few smart questions - who it is for, budget, brand, style - and narrows a large catalog to the few products that actually fit, ending on an honest trade-off between the finalists.
- 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
- Guided funnel: an intent, then questions that narrow the catalog
- Product cards rendered by your store, so price and language match
- Instant on-brand text search instead of a dead-end results page
