Meili has been career changing for me and my team. The amount of time, money, and maintenance effort we've saved is insane, and their cloud infra is no different from the performance that Algolia offers. We were one of the very first to implement Meili cloud for [Hellonext](https://hellonext.co) and now implementing for [alphaOS](https://alphaos.app). Highly recommend. And @quentin_dq and his team are just very nice to talk to as well. Most importantly, they listen to customer feedback. Hoping to seeing them on Hellonext as well to collect and manager feedback.
We're using Meilisearch with our new SaaS creator platform (still in development) and our engineers love it. It looks great too and super flexible. Awesome work!

Hey ProductHunt! I’m Quentin, one of the founders of the open-source search engine Meilisearch. Our goal is to make it easy for developers to ship good search UX, so I’m excited to launch Meilisearch AI today with the builders community here.
Meilisearch started when I was working in ecommerce and felt like the search options were either heavyweight like Elasticsearch or paid solutions with opaque pricing. We thought there was room for something transparent and dev-friendly that just works for most search use cases out of the box. Meilisearch AI is another step in this direction.
Our key features are:
🔎 Full-text search with simple, expressive ranking rules
🧠 AI-powered hybrid, semantic, and multi-modal search
⚡️ Sub 50ms latency, optimized for end user search
We’re excited to stabilize AI-powered search to allow developers to integrate fast and relevant search, retrieval-augmented generation, and recommendations in their apps. Building upon a year of open-source beta, our managed offer comes with the scalability, security, and monitoring you need to stay focused on building, not managing infrastructure.
For the occasion, we’re offering 2 months of free Meilisearch Cloud subscription. Use the ✨ "MeiliAI" ✨ coupon to get started.
We can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

Happy building 🚀

Congrats on the Launch Quentin!
Any plans for a "plug and play" AI search in the future. As in, all embedding etc integrated in the product, no need for a 3rd party?
Meilisearch
@strijdhagen Yes, it's in our plans! We are just about to release the Composite Embedder, which will be a good first step on this path. What are the pain points you want to solve in your case? Mostly, we see pricing or performance pain points that will be addressed, but anything different would be interesting to dive deeper into.

I’ve always admired Meilisearch for bringing developer-first simplicity to full-text search, and it’s great to see you now tackling AI-powered semantic and hybrid search with the same ethos.
Also, love that you’re keeping latency under 50ms 🔥 — speed + semantic relevance is still a rare combo in this space.
Excited to try it out — and that MeiliAI coupon is a nice bonus for devs who want to explore! 🚀

@carolina_ferreira2 @maya_shin2 @gmourier @kui_jason You will love what is coming next; we will be able to run on the same index, the same model on a local CPU for search and on a GPU for indexing. Best of both worlds, it will make Meilisearch the fastest and most scalable hybrid search 🔥
