New AI-Powered Features for an Enhanced Docs Experience

We’re excited to announce a leap forward in how you interact with our docs and discover valuable information. We’ve been working diligently to integrate WP Engine’s AI Toolkit to deliver a more intuitive, efficient, and developer-friendly experience. Our goal was to make it easier for you to find helpful content, resolve problems, and build headless WordPress sites using Faust.js.

What’s Old?

Before we get into the new improvements, a quick review of the previous status quo. The Faust site received a significant revamp at the beginning of 2025. Part of the rebuild was replacing Algolia search with WP Engine’s Smart Search. The Smart Search plugin would index all WordPress content out of the box. However, as noted then, we moved our docs out of WordPress to markdown files in the Faust.js Github repo.

Using Smart Search’s index API, we were also able to index those markdown docs. The search API enabled full-text search with fuzziness, which provided a simple and straightforward way for developers to find answers across our docs and blog.

Because the faustjs.org website is open source, you can see how we implemented the faust docs site on the GitHub repo.

What’s New?

Revolutionizing Search with Hybrid AI-Powered Smart Search

Forget full-text search with fuzziness or stemming. We’ve significantly improved our search results by implementing Hybrid AI-powered Smart Search. This new system understands the intent behind your queries, delivering more accurate and relevant search results. Finding the answers you need has never been easier.

Enhanced Content Discovery with WP Engine’s Recommendations API

We’re excited to introduce a new “Related Content” section at the bottom of our documentation pages. WP Engine’s Recommendations API powers this feature, which intelligently suggests relevant articles and resources based on the doc you’re currently viewing. Say goodbye to endless searching and hello to seamless content discovery!

Introducing Our RAG Chatbot

To further empower you to find solutions and build on headless WordPress with Faust.js, we are officially releasing our new RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) chatbot. This chatbot is powered by WP Engine’s Managed Vector Database and Google Gemini, providing real-time, comprehensive, and relevant answers to your questions. With the full context of the Faust.js docs and blog, whether you have a quick query or need detailed guidance, the chatbot is here to help.

Our Vision

These new features represent our commitment to Faust, providing you with the best developer experience. By leveraging the power of WP Engine’s AI Toolkit, we’re building a smarter, more responsive docs platform designed to support you and your development endeavors.

Here at WP Engine, we “Power the freedom to create”. These improvements will significantly streamline your workflow, allowing you to focus on what matters most: creating exceptional digital experiences. We invite you to explore these new features and experience the future of content discovery and problem-solving.
