Hello SuperCat Users,

Welcome to 2026! We've got big plans for this year, and we're excited to start with this release.

This quarter, we're making search smarter: our new AI-powered Smart Search understands what you're looking for, not just the exact words you type. Plus, there's a fresh notifications system and helpful improvements across pricing, orders, and the overall experience. Here's what's new and how to use it.

⬇️ Here's what's new from Q1 2026:

🔍 Smart Search (AI-Powered) - New Feature #

Find products the way you naturally think about them. Just describe what you need, and Smart Search delivers relevant results.

• Search in your own words. Type something like "blue dining table for 6" and get matching products, even if those exact words aren't in the product title.
• Choose your search style. Prefer the classic keyword search? You can switch between Smart Search and traditional search anytime.
• Tailored for your organization. Each organization can customize how search works for their team.
• Works with SKUs and UPCs too. Search by product codes just as easily as by description.

• Better product matching. Smart Search looks across categories, descriptions, and more to find what you need.

   

💡 Why this matters: Traditional search only finds exact matches. Smart Search understands what you mean, so searching for "wooden outdoor seating" will find patio benches, teak chairs, and garden furniture, even when those exact words aren't in the product names.

💡 Why this matters: No more missing important announcements buried in email. Updates from the SuperCat Team now come directly to you in the app you're already using.
