What is brng.ai?

brng.ai adds intelligent, conversational search to any website. Visitors ask questions in plain language and get accurate answers drawn from your product catalog and website content — powered by retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), not generic AI.

The platform imports your data into a vector database, then serves grounded, real-time responses through an embeddable search app. It works for e-commerce stores, content-heavy websites, membership organizations, and any business with information visitors need to find.

Create Your Account

1

Verify your email

Go to your brng.ai dashboard URL and click Create an account. Enter your email address — you'll receive a verification link to confirm ownership before proceeding.

2

Set up your account

Create a password, then enter your business details: domain name (your website URL), industry, and website type (e-commerce or content). Your domain name is used as your organization name by default.

3

Choose a plan

Select a subscription plan. All plans include a free trial — your card is collected but not charged until the trial period ends. You can cancel at any time during the trial at no cost.

Free Trial

Every new domain gets a free trial. Your payment method is saved securely via Stripe but you won't be charged until the trial expires. Cancel anytime during the trial — no charge, no questions.

Guided Onboarding

After registration, a step-by-step onboarding checklist guides you through setup. The steps vary based on your website type.

E-commerce websites (Shopify, Magento)

  1. Import Products — Connect your store by entering your platform credentials (API access token for Shopify, OAuth credentials for Magento). brng.ai automatically extracts your product catalog including titles, descriptions, prices, images, stock status, and custom attributes/metafields.
  2. Import Website Content — A website import starts automatically when you register, indexing your pages in the background. You can configure URLs and schedule from Settings later.
  3. Customize Your Search App — Set your brand color, suggested questions, font size, and preview how the search app looks on your site.
  4. Install the Search App — Copy the embed code and paste it into your website. Use the built-in verification tool to confirm it's working.

Content websites (blogs, docs, knowledge bases)

  1. Import Website Content — Same auto-import as above. Your pages are indexed automatically.
  2. Customize Your Search App — Brand the search app to match your site.
  3. Install the Search App — Embed and verify.

Each step shows real-time progress — you can see import and extraction jobs running with percentage completion. The checklist auto-completes as each step finishes.

Choose Your Search App

brng.ai offers two search app types, both built as isolated components that won't interfere with your site's styles.

Search App Best For Key Features
Standard Blogs, docs, knowledge bases, informational sites Conversational AI search, streaming responses, chat history, dark/light/auto themes
Cart E-commerce (Shopify, Magento) Everything in Standard plus product cards with images and prices, add-to-cart (Shopify & Magento), product comparison, cart panel, stock checking, and conversion tracking

Your website type (set during registration or in Settings > General) determines the default search app. E-commerce sites get the Cart search app by default. You can switch types anytime from Settings > Integration.

Embed the Search App

Go to Settings > Integration in your dashboard. A ready-to-use embed code is generated for you — just copy it and paste it into your site's HTML, either in the <head> or before </body>. The code is pre-configured with your domain's unique ID and the correct search app type.

Platform-specific notes

Shopify: Add the script via Theme Customizer > Footer > Custom Liquid section.
Magento: After adding the script, flush your cache and add brng.ai to your Content Security Policy whitelist. See the CSP guide for details.

Verify Installation

After embedding the script, use the built-in Verify Installation button on the Integration page. brng.ai will check your website for:

You'll see a pass/warning/fail result with actionable next steps if anything needs attention.
