AI Search is a search box you add to your own website. As a visitor types, it shows instant matching results, and it can also give a written Ask AI answer drawn from your content.

What visitors get

  • Instant results that update as they type, from your pages and products.

  • An optional Ask AI answer that summarises the best match in a sentence or two.

  • On store products, they can even add to cart straight from the results.

What it draws on

AI Search only shows content you have shared with it and marked customer-facing: your website pages and your store products. It is separate from the search inside your dashboard, which is only for you and your team.

The setup path

  1. Create your AI Search app. Your plan includes one or more. See Compare Mando plans and pricing.

  2. Choose your content by sharing pages and products with the app.

  3. Add it to your website with the embed code, or through your AI agent.

Instant search is free. Ask AI answers on your live site are a paid add-on; you can try them free in the dashboard first. See What each Mando add-on unlocks.
