What is JAQI?
JAQI® is the first AI-enabled, purpose-built translation and search engine for Industry 4.0 and industrial B2B suppliers. It serves as an AI product translation and search engine that powers e-commerce websites, marketplaces, portals, and ERP systems with AI search technology. The tool digitizes workflows by translating product description nomenclatures (shorthand, abbreviations, and industry lingo) for describing products and matching them with a supplier's catalog, significantly reducing data input and search time by over 80%.
Key features include a Google-like search experience that replaces antiquated point-and-click and dropdown menu search methods, error-free AI translations, support for bulk simultaneous searches (hundreds of items at once), efficient catalog matching without filter-based searches, easy RFQ list handling via copy/paste or upload, seamless API integration with ERP, e-commerce, and databases, an intuitive user interface, and classification of unstructured product data. The platform supports all long and flat metal products including rods, bars, beams, angles, channels, tees, pipes, tubes, sheets, plates, coils, expanded metal, bar gratings, and grip struts. In tests, JAQI can find 50+ different metal products simultaneously in 10 to 25 seconds depending on database size, while a comparable RFQ could take over 30 minutes with conventional search tools.
JAQI is designed for industrial B2B suppliers, metal buyers and suppliers in the materials supply chain, e-commerce webstore operators, marketplace platforms, quoting platforms, stocking distributors, sales teams needing quick quotes, procurement teams, and teams working with product shorthand, lingo, or nomenclatures. It serves companies of all sizes from 2-10 employees to 5,001+ employees across the industrial metal supply chain.

Frequently asked questions about JAQI
What is JAQI AI Industrial Materials Search Engine?
JAQI® is the first AI-enabled, purpose-built translation and search engine for Industry 4.0 and industrial B2B suppliers.

JAQI uses patent-pending AI translation technology that recognizes improper synonym recognition issues (like 'round bar' vs 'rnd'), translates product description nomenclatures and shorthand automatically, and matches them with supplier catalogs. The engine converts buyer descriptions into searchable terms so products show up even when users type synonyms rather than exact matches.
