ReluAI: Turning Product Search into a Conversation on ecomplex.ro

Shoppers looking for car parts rarely speak in SKUs — they speak in symptoms, car models and bulb sockets. ReluAI is a native WordPress chatbot widget we built for ecomplex.ro that answers in the same language: live OpenSearch product lookup, multi-provider LLM failover, inline lead capture and a vehicle fitment database, all inside one lightweight widget.

The Problem

An 80,000-SKU auto-parts catalog is hostile to casual browsing. Fitment depends on brand, model, generation and engine — a wrong bulb socket means a return. The store needed a guide that understands "Dacia Logan 2010, front right headlight bulb" and answers with the exact product, not ten category pages.

What We Built

ReluAI is a WordPress plugin built for the store: a lightweight chat widget backed by a product search engine, a vehicle fitment database (bulbs, batteries, oil per brand, model and generation) and a curated answer base. It installs like any plugin and works alongside any theme.

How It Answers

Every message follows the same path: the assistant understands the question in context, searches the store catalog two ways at once, then formulates the answer with an AI model — with an automatic backup model if the first one is unavailable. Product cards always come from the store's own catalog: the AI recommends, the listing proves. The most common questions are answered instantly from the curated knowledge base.

Commerce, Not Just Chat

The widget captures leads inline (name, email, phone), remembers the conversation, and shows your team every chat transcript in the store's own dashboard.

AI Transparency

ReluAI identifies itself as an AI assistant in conversation, and every product recommendation links back to a real store listing the customer can verify. The plugin ships its own API keys model: it calls the merchant's configured providers and trains nothing.

Result

Part lookup that used to take five category drills now takes one sentence. Support load on fitment questions drops, and every conversation is a potential lead with contact details attached.
