Chances are, you’ve already used ChatGPT or Gemini to quickly get answers. It’s fast, direct, and informative — exactly what today’s users expect.

Unfortunately, many websites still rely on outdated search functionalities. You type something in a search bar, and you're redirected to a results page full of irrelevant links. That’s where Basil steps in.

• Smart indexing: Basil crawls and indexes your site content intelligently.
• Instant answers: It understands user intent and returns answers directly — no need to click through pages.
• Plug-and-play: One terminal command sets up a powerful API endpoint for your frontend search bar.

But Basil offers more than just convenience. Other systems often rely on a full RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) setup using ChatGPT under the hood. While powerful, this burns tokens — and your budget — for every simple question.

Basil is different. It gives you a choice:

• Search mode: Basil generates over 20 related questions per indexed page and uses LangChain to match user input. All without touching OpenAI APIs.
• Full RAG mode, if you want Use Grok if you want maximum accuracy and natural answers.

The result? Fast, smart, and affordable question-answering directly inside your own site.
