Unlock Intucart’s AI Magic
Your Guide to Smarter Search and Sales-Boosting Recommendations
Powering Intucart with Trusted AI Partners for Pennies—or Free
Third party AI services:
Learn how we integrate with top AI embedding and vector database providers to keep your costs low and your store smart.
Intucart works seamlessly with two leading embedding providers: OpenAI (e.g., text-embedding-3-small) and Voyage AI. Just bring your API key from either, and we’ll transform your product descriptions and user behaviors into powerful embeddings for search and recommendations—no heavy lifting required.
Yes, you’ll need an account with OpenAI or Voyage AI to generate embeddings—Intucart doesn’t host models itself. The good news? Small shops can use free credits (OpenAI’s $5 or Voyage AI’s $10) and stay cost-free for months. It’s a small step for big results.
We support Pinecone and Zilliz Cloud—two industry-trusted vector databases with simple APIs. Provide your keys, and Intucart stores and queries embeddings for fast, AI-driven search and recommendations. We’ve picked these for their generous free tiers and low costs—so you won’t break the bank.
Yes, and it’s a breeze with Intucart’s efficiency! Our caching and daily updates keep usage so low that small shops (e.g., 100 products, 1K users) fit within OpenAI’s $5 credits, Voyage AI’s $10 credits, Pinecone’s 100K vectors, and Zilliz’s 200K vectors—often at zero cost for months or even years. Medium shops might see tiny costs later—think $2-5/mo total. More options may come as we grow!
Intucart’s design keeps 3rd-party costs minimal:
- Small Shops (e.g., 50-100 products, 1K users):Nothing—OpenAI’s $5 credits (250K tokens) and Voyage AI’s $10 credits (assumed 40M input tokens) cover setup and months of use; Pinecone’s 100K vectors and Zilliz’s 200K vectors handle all embeddings free. You’re golden at $0/mo beyond Intucart’s price.
- Medium Shops (e.g., 100-500 products, 5K-10K users):De minimis—after free credits, OpenAI might cost $2-5/mo (~100K-200K tokens), Voyage AI $1-3/mo (same scale), Pinecone $5-10/mo (beyond 100K vectors), Zilliz $5-10/mo (beyond 200K). Total: $5-15/mo—less than a coffee run.
- Larger Shops (e.g., 500+ products, 10K+ users):Affordable—OpenAI/Voyage AI could hit $10-20/mo, Pinecone/Zilliz $10-25/mo with heavier use. Still low—$20-45/mo total—thanks to our caching slashing live queries.
No big bills here—just smart savings to keep you focused on sales.
How Intucart Boosts Your WooCommerce Store with AI Magic
Plugin functionality:
Discover how our features turn browsers into buyers with minimal effort.
It swaps WooCommerce’s basic keyword search for AI-driven smarts—e.g., “cozy winter jacket” finds matches by meaning, not just exact terms. Free tier gives you a solid start; Professional adds advanced NLP and ranking via OpenAI or Voyage AI.
Intucart uses embeddings from OpenAI or Voyage AI to power three signals: “Similar Products” (attribute-based suggestions), “Basket Affinity” (cart-driven pairings), and “User Similarity” (personalized via behavior). Stored in Pinecone or Zilliz and cached locally—available in Professional and Enterprise.
They craft one embedding per user (summarizing views, cart adds, purchases), weight key actions (e.g., purchases > views), and cluster similar shoppers—offering tailored suggestions that can boost conversions 20-30%. A Professional and Enterprise exclusive.
Gutenberg blocks (Enterprise only) add drag-and-drop search and recommendation widgets to pages—customize with ease. API access (Enterprise only) unlocks search/recommendation endpoints—ideal for apps or bespoke storefronts.
Intucart supports Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to track every search request and recommendation click—adding metadata like search queries, product IDs, and recommendation types (e.g., “similar” or “user similarity”). Plus, see basic stats (total searches, clicks) right in your WordPress admin—know what’s driving sales.
