How it sells itself

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.

Shopify's default search only finds products when customers type exact keywords. When shoppers search naturally, like "something for dry patches on my face" or "gift for someone who loves cooking," they get no results and leave. Understnd replaces keyword matching with AI that reads customer intent. It matches searches to relevant products based on meaning, not just words. Setup takes minutes.

Key points
  • 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
  • AI search that understands natural language
  • See what customers search for with real-time search analytics
  • Products sync automatically from your catalog, no manual work
  • Shows customers why each product matches their search with AI explanations
