The problem

Your ads bring customers in. Keyword search lets them leave.

Keyword search only finds what was typed. A shopper asks for “something formal under 3,000” and gets nothing, or gets everything. Every dead end is a customer who leaves, and most never come back.

Keyword search“Find what I typed.”

  • laptop for AI development under $2,000

    ✕0 results. The words don't match any product title.

  • full fat laban 2 litre

    ✕1,248 results: every dairy product, every size.

  • iftar for 8 tonight, dates, laban and samosas

    ✕Too long to match. The search gives up.

The catalyst

The catalyst between every customer and their basket.

In chemistry, a catalyst makes a reaction happen faster. Catalyst AI does the same in your app: it closes the gap between what a customer needs and the product on your shelf, so more searches end in orders.

Iftar for 8 people tonight. Dates, laban and samosas, under 150.
Try:
“Iftar for 8 people tonight. Dates, laban and samosas, under 150.” One spoken request flows into the Catalyst AI core, which understands it, finds the products and ranks them, and comes out as a ready basket.

The customer says

“Iftar for 8 people tonight. Dates, laban and samosas, under 150.”

One sentence. Three products, a quantity, a budget and a deadline.
