Cludo
AI site search and AI answer layers for content-heavy websites
Cludo is a site search platform for content-heavy websites that combines keyword and vector matching to interpret visitor intent rather than relying on exact terms. It addresses the problem of poor search results and unanswered queries by layering optional AI answer features—AI Summary, AI Chat, and AI Mode—on top of search, with responses grounded in the site's own content. It can also be applied to internal content through federated indexing across intranets, document libraries, and knowledge bases.
Core capabilities include search analytics, page rankings, synonyms, misspelling handling, intelligent 404 pages, multi-select facets, autocomplete, voice search, pre-search suggestions, rich result display, search banners, a feedback module, and a no-code Experience Builder for designing AI Summary, Chat, 404 pages, and feedback interfaces. It integrates with major CMS platforms including WordPress and Drupal, with APIs for Sitecore, Optimizely, and headless architectures, and supports multi-site and multi-domain configurations. Data can be hosted in the EU or US, with GDPR compliance and private data masking available.
Cludo is aimed at web managers, marketing teams, developers, and organizations managing public websites or internal knowledge bases. Pricing is organized into three solutions: AI Search and Enterprise Search with customized annual flat-rate pricing based on organizational needs rather than traffic, and AI Layers available as add-ons priced per layer annually. Implementation can be handled by Cludo's team or carried out by agencies and in-house developers, ranging from plug-and-play setups to API-based custom builds.
