Insytful AI Search Overview

Insytful AI Search adds an AI-powered, streaming Q&A search experience to your site. A visitor asks a question and gets a generated answer with sources, plus optional suggestion chips, a classic-search fallback, and full theming control.
This page is for developers integrating the component into a site. If you're looking for a plain-language explanation of how AI Search finds content, writes answers, and handles safety and privacy, see How AI Search works: FAQs.
It ships as two integrations that share the same underlying engine, so pick whichever fits your stack.
Which integration do I need?
| React components | Web Component (Classic Contensis) | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | React / TSX applications | Razor views, classic Contensis layouts, or any non-React site |
| Install | npm or yarn etc | Single <script> tag from unpkg |
| API shape | Compound components (Root, Trigger, Portal, Input, Messages, …) | Custom element (<insytful-search>) with slots and child elements |
| Escape hatch | useRAGResponse hook for fully custom UI | JavaScript API (element.open(), events) for programmatic control |
| Guide | AI Search for React / TSX | AI Search for Classic Contensis |
Both integrations are styled the same way — see AI Search theming for the full CSS variable reference.
