Ansera Search vs Savanto – AI Search & Chat

Ansera Search replaces the default WordPress search with an intuitive AI powered answer engine based on your site’s existing content. We all know that when website visitors can’t find the answers they’re looking for, they will leave in frustration never to return. Traditional website search just returns a list of links for visitors to sort through themselves while most chatbot solutions are annoying and require significant set up. Ansera solves for these issues and more by providing your website visitors with human readable natural language search responses based only on your site’s content. Unlike traditional website search tools, Ansera can be up and running in as little as 5 minutes by even the least technical users. Once you install Ansera on your site, all you have to do is select the pages you want to train it to answer on. Additionally, you can link to externally stored content like youtube and vimeo videos or presentations. Ansera’s analytics let you see what answers your users are actually seeking and how to improve your content and conversion to better serve them. Features: – Out of the box set up while also providing several visual customization options for more advanced users – Human readable natural language search results – Real-time sync that updates answers as site content is updated – User analytics for all search queries – Customizable guiding questions – Visitors can email results to themselves – Integrate a custom lead generation form into the Ansera widget Bring conversational AI search to your site in minutes – no coding required! Privacy This plugin uses the following third-party services to provide its functionality: Google reCAPTCHA v3 – Used to detect and prevent spam/bot traffic. It collects user interaction data for verification. See Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. reCAPTCHA v3 works by collecting hardware and software information, such as device and application data, and sending it to Google to analyze whether a user is human. This process is automatic and invisible to users. This feature will be enabled after you provide Google ReCaptch V3 api credentials. api.ipify.org API – Used to determine user geolocation based on IP address. See geo.ipify.org Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Whenever user asks the question in the searchbox, we will call this api and fetch that user’s ip address. We are not passing any customer information to the api server. api.ansera.ai – This is the API server of the Ansera.ai platform. It receives content submitted by the WordPress admin from the plugin’s settings page and returns AI-generated responses. ON plugin activation wordpress pages will be sent to Ansera website. WordPress Administrator/Editor can manage sync/unsyc the posts from plugin settings page. See www.Ansera.ai Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. dashboard.ansera.ai — Used to render analytics dashboards based on data collected by the api.ansera.ai service. It does not collect or access any data from the WordPress site itself. See www.Ansera.ai Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. ansera-cdn.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com — Ansera developed a CDN javascript library and published it to Amazon S3 storage engine. This plugin renders the Ansera CDN from Amazon S3 bucket. Complete frontend UI will be rendered from this Javascript CDN library. See www.Ansera.ai Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. See aws.amazon.com Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. No personal information is stored by the plugin itself, but IP addresses may be transmitted to external APIs.

A visitor searches your site for “comfortable shoes for hiking” and gets nothing back. WordPress search matches words, not meaning, so anything phrased differently to your product titles returns an empty page. Savanto replaces that search. It understands what people are asking for, adds a chat assistant that answers from your own content, and suggests related products. You do not need an OpenAI account, an API key, or any technical setup. Install the plugin, activate it, and click Connect to Savanto. You sign in or create a free account, approve the connection, and your site is live. There is no key to copy. Savanto runs the AI on its own servers, so you never manage tokens, usage limits, or billing with OpenAI, Anthropic, or anyone else. How Savanto Differs From Other AI Plugins Most WordPress AI plugins are toolkits. They connect your site to an external AI provider, but you bring your own API key, configure embeddings, choose models, and build the experience yourself. That suits developers. It does not suit a store owner who wants better search. Savanto is a finished product rather than a toolkit. There is no API key from OpenAI, Anthropic or Google to supply, no third-party AI account to manage, no vector database to stand up, and no prompts or models to choose. Everything runs on Savanto’s own infrastructure, so there are no usage bills arriving from providers you did not sign up with. Savanto uses different models for different jobs, each chosen and tuned for the task: ranking search results, holding a conversation, matching products. You get that work without configuring any of it. Other AI plugins need your own keys and some developer knowledge before they do anything. Some support platforms sell AI as an add-on from around $29 a month. Savanto gives you search and chat on a free plan that does not expire, with nothing else to set up. Paid plans start at $9 a month when you need higher limits. Semantic Search Replaces WordPress search with search that reads intent. Someone types “something warm but not too bulky” or “gifts under $50 for someone who likes cooking” and gets sensible results. Typos, vague descriptions and full questions all work without tuning. Chat Assistant An assistant on your site that answers questions from the content you have synced, suggests products, and points people to the right page. It works from your own material, so it is not guessing at what you sell. Recommendations Suggestions drawn from what a visitor is actually looking for, rather than from cookies or browsing history. Related products, posts and pages that a category-based list would have missed. Live Agent Handoff The assistant recognises a question it should not answer alone and hands the visitor to your support team, so nobody reaches a dead end. Automatic Sync Publish a page, product or post and Savanto picks it up. Nothing to re-index by hand, and search results stay current as your content changes. Built for WooCommerce Savanto reads your whole catalogue: titles, descriptions, prices, categories and custom fields. Visitors search in their own words and still find the right product, which means fewer searches that end in nothing. Privacy Savanto indexes only publicly available content. It does not touch private posts, drafts, user accounts or personal data. Performance Search runs on Savanto’s infrastructure with global edge delivery, so it adds no load to your WordPress hosting. Responses typically return in under 100ms. Enterprise plans include a contractual uptime SLA with service credits.
