What it does

SearchCLI integrates AI search, recommendation, and conversational retrieval into agent systems and business systems through a command-line interface

When to use it
  • •Building a custom chatbot that requires advanced search capabilities
  • •Integrating AI-powered recommendation engines into an e-commerce platform
  • •Developing a voice assistant that needs to retrieve information from a large database
Ready-to-paste prompt
npx ts-node src/search.ts -q 'find all products with price greater than 100' -f json
Heads up: Make sure you have Node.js (>=14.17.0) and TypeScript (>=4.3.5) installed on your system, as SearchCLI relies on these specific versions for compatibility
