For WooCommerce stores
Replace WooCommerce's broken keyword search with AI semantic search that actually understands what shoppers type. One-time license. Your API key. Your data. Your server.
Free version on WordPress.org · 14-day refund · GPL v2
$79 once
Not $200/month forever.
Your API key
Pay OpenAI direct, ~$0.02 to index 1,000 products.
Self-hosted
No proxies. No data leaves your WordPress.
No servers to provision, no integrations to wire, no monthly invoices. Install, paste, search.
Search "AI Search BYOK" in the plugins screen, click install, activate. Same as any other WP plugin.
Settings page accepts your OpenAI API key. We never see it. Click "Index catalog" — done in 60 seconds for most stores.
Storefront search now understands "gift for a coffee lover" and "comfy summer top under $40." Search-driven sales rise.
SaaS search products charge you forever. We charge once. The AI cost goes directly to your provider — usually a few dollars a month.

Because we don't host anything. The plugin runs entirely inside your WordPress, calling OpenAI with your key. We charge once for the software; you pay OpenAI directly for the AI (typical store: under $5/month total).
Yes. Embeddings live in your WordPress database. Nothing transmits to us. Our license server only ever receives your license key — never your products or shopper queries.
Indexing 1,000 products with text-embedding-3-small runs about $0.02. Each search query is roughly $0.0001. A store with 10,000 searches per month spends about $1.
14-day no-questions-asked refund. Email [email protected] with your order number.
If you have another search plugin active, deactivate it first. Two search plugins fight for the same WordPress hooks.
