Get started

AI Search is a managed search service. Connect a website, an R2 bucket, or upload your own documents, and AI Search indexes your content for natural language queries.

Prerequisites

If you plan to use an R2 bucket as your data source, you must have an active R2 subscription before creating your AI Search instance. If you plan to use a website or upload files directly, no additional setup is required.

Choose your setup method
