Install the gift finder

An "ask anything" block with a text input and suggested-question chips. Two visual variants: a full search section (default) and a narrow banner (banner).

Gift finder preview

Whitelist your domain first

Humind only renders on domains whitelisted in the URL whitelist page of your dashboard. Add every environment you embed on (prod, staging, preview, etc.).

Preview

Banner runs offline. Default uses shop-domain="mock" to skip the /widgets/gift-finder call.

Which install path?

You run...Do this
A Shopify store (online-store theme)Use the Shopify theme blocks below. No HTML, no loader.
A non-Shopify storefrontCopy-paste the snippet with integration="custom".
A Shopify backend with a custom (headless) storefrontCopy-paste with integration="shopify" and pass shop-domain yourself.

Shopify theme blocks

If your store uses an Online Store 2.0 theme, add the block from the theme editor — no code needed.

  • AI Gift Generator → renders variant="default" (full search section).
  • Shop with AI Banner → renders variant="banner" (narrow banner).

Both blocks are available on every template (home, product, collection, page) and expose display, branding, and layout fields in the theme editor. shop-domain and integration are injected for you.

Copy-paste

Use this path for non-Shopify storefronts, or for headless setups backed by Shopify.

html
<script src="https://widgets.thehumind.com/v1/loader.js" defer></script>

<humind-gift-finder
  variant="default"
  shop-domain="store.example.com"
  integration="shopify"
  language="en"
  title="What are you shopping for?"
  subtitle="Our AI will help you find it."
  placeholder="I'm looking for..."
></humind-gift-finder>

Non-Shopify backends use integration="custom" and company-id instead of shop-domain:

html
<humind-gift-finder
  variant="default"
  company-id="<your-humind-company-id>"
  integration="custom"
  language="en"
></humind-gift-finder>

Banner variant:

html
<humind-gift-finder
  variant="banner"
  integration="shopify"
  title="Shop with AI"
  subtitle="Describe what you need"
  placeholder="Try: anti-frizz shampoo for curly hair"
  section-background-color="#111"
  title-subtitle-color="#fff"
  star-color="#CCADFF"
></humind-gift-finder>

Variants

variantAPI call on mountUse case
defaultGET /widgets/gift-finderPrimary search block on home, collection, or landing pages. Pulls AI-generated preset chips and theme colors from the API.
bannernoneNarrow banner strip for global sections (header, footer, promo rows). Fully static shell — no backend.
lightnoneFilled default look with a #f3f3f3 background. Static shell, no AI chips. Good for content pages and light backgrounds where you want a CTA-like search bar without waiting on the API.
primarynoneFilled default look painted with the merchant's primary color. Static shell, no AI chips. Good for landing and marketing pages that need a branded CTA block.

light and primary render the search UI without calling the backend, so they don't show AI-generated questions — only the text input. Use them where a static shell is enough.

Colors: default variant

AttributeTypeDefault
color-scheme'default' | 'custom'default
primary-colorstring (hex)-
text-color'#000' | '#fff'#fff
title-subtitle-colorstring (hex)#fff
button-design'filled' | 'outlined'filled

color-scheme="default" pulls colors from the API. color-scheme="custom" requires primary-color.

Colors: banner variant

AttributeTypeDefault
section-background-colorstring (hex)#222
title-subtitle-colorstring (hex)#fff
star-colorstring (hex)#CCADFF

The banner variant ignores primary-color, text-color, color-scheme, button-design, show-questions.

Theming notes

  • text-color is a contrast toggle. Use #000 or #fff only.
  • button-design (default variant only):
    • filled: chip background = primary color at 10–20% opacity. Text = text-color.
    • outlined: chip background transparent. Border + text = primary color.
  • The widget uses a generic sans-serif stack (Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif) inside its Shadow DOM. Host fonts don't carry over. Ask support if you need a custom typography pass.
  • Sizing, spacing, and border-radius are not themable.

Events

Fires humind-open-chat on window when the user submits the input or clicks a preset chip. The chat overlay (if installed) catches it and opens with the user's query.

js
window.addEventListener('humind-open-chat', (e) => {
  console.log(e.detail.message); // string the user submitted
});

Mock mode

Pass shop-domain="mock" (or company-id="mock") to skip the /widgets/gift-finder call and render a hard-coded sample. Useful for local previews, Storybook, or demos before the merchant account is live. All attributes remain reactive in this mode.
