- Executes smart product searches and comparisons
- Aggregates results into structured, branded displays
- Renders inline on your existing site
Key Use Cases
| User Query | Result |
|---|---|
| “Compare iPhone 12 and 14 side by side” | Comparison table with pricing, features, specs |
| “Best laptop under $1,000 for video editing” | Top picks based on price and use case |
| “Eco-friendly cleaning products with 4+ stars” | Filters semantically and shows curated list |
Customer Benefits
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Intent Understanding | Better match for customer intent |
| Enhanced Discovery | Recommendations, comparisons, filters |
| No Engineering Required | Injected frontend only |
| Fast Time to Value | Live evaluation in minutes |

Component Breakdown
Injected Frontend Widget
- Intercepts search input
- Sends query to Veridian backend
- Displays enhanced results in place or alongside native search
Intent Parser (LLM)
- Converts natural language into structured search goals
- Determines whether the query is for comparison, filter, recommendation, etc.
Search Plan Generator
- Translates intent into one or more search actions:
- Single query: keyword
- Multi-query: compare multiple products
- Filtered query: map query to product tags or metadata
Plan Executor

Executor->>TargetSite: Search requests (e.g., /search?q=term)
TargetSite-->>Executor: HTML results
Executor-->>API: Normalized results
API-->>Widget: Aggregated JSON results
Result Aggregator
- Extracts titles, prices, specs, reviews
- Normalizes and de-duplicates
- Formats into clean JSON
Renderer
- Injects enhanced UI (carousel, table, filters)
- Styled to match your branding
Privacy & Security
- No access to backend systems or customer data
- All interactions occur in the browser or via secure APIs
- Optional: enable CORS-aware server-side scrapers for robustness
