Add AI Search to Your Existing App — Without Rebuilding Everything
Your users expect a search that actually understands what they are looking for. Adding semantic AI search to an existing product does not require a complete rebuild — it requires the right integration strategy. We add vector search to live applications without disrupting your current codebase, database, or user experience.
How We Integrate AI Search into Your App
✓ Audit your existing data and search requirements | ✓ Select the right vector DB for your scale and budget |
✓ Build an embedding pipeline for your existing content | ✓ Set up the vector database alongside your current DB |
✓ Build the semantic search API endpoint | ✓ Connect search to your existing frontend |
✓ Implement keyword + vector hybrid search if needed | ✓ Set up re-indexing on content updates |
✓ Performance testing and latency optimisation | ✓ Full documentation and handover |
Stacks We Work With
Backend: Django, FastAPI, Flask, Node.js / Express, Rails, Laravel, Spring Boot
Databases: PostgreSQL (pgvector), MySQL (with external vector DB), MongoDB, Supabase
Vector DBs: Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, ChromaDB, pgvector, Milvus
Cloud: AWS (ECS, Lambda), GCP (Cloud Run), Azure, Render, Railway, Vercel
FAQs — AI Search Integration
Q: Will adding vector search slow down my app?
A: Not if implemented correctly. We use async pipelines for embedding, caching for frequent queries, and choose the right index type for your query latency requirements. Most integrations add less than 50ms to query time.
Q: We already have ElasticSearch. Should we replace it?
A: Not necessarily. We often run vector search alongside ElasticSearch in a hybrid setup — BM25 keyword search from Elastic plus semantic search from a vector DB, combined with a reranker for the best results.
Q: How long does it take to add AI search to our app?
A: For a well-defined scope, we deliver a working integration in 5–10 business days. Complex multi-language or multi-content-type setups take 2–4 weeks.
Q: Do you sign NDAs before looking at our code?
A: Yes, always. NDA available before any code or architecture review.
