Searching on websites is changing fundamentally: away from pure keyword searches and towards intelligent, AI-supported answers. With the new TYPO3 extension from RMS, it's now easier than ever to integrate state-of-the-art AI search technology and the RMS chatbot directly into your TYPO3 installation.
What is the RMS AI-Search?
This extension connects your TYPO3 website directly to the AI platform chat.rm-solutions.de. Instead of just spitting out a list of links, the AI understands the context of the search queries and provides precise, human-like answers based on your content.
The advantages at a glance:
- Intelligent answers: visitors get the information they are looking for directly instead of just links.
- Seamless integration: Complete integration into the existing TYPO3 frontend.
- Flexibility: Design and structure are fully customizable via templates.

Technical integration (quick guide)
The installation is carried out professionally via Composer and can be seamlessly integrated into modern TYPO3 workflows.
1. installation
First you need to add the repository to your composer.json, as it is a dedicated extension:
"repositories": [
{
"type": "vcs",
"url": "https://github.com/rmsstuttgart/rms-ai-search-public.git"
}
],
The extension can then be installed via composer
composer require rms/rms-ai-search
2. configuration & templates
Once you have integrated the TypoScript set of the extension into your template, you can define the paths for your own Fluid templates. This is done as usual via the Typioscript constants:
plugin.tx_rmsaisearch {
view {
templateRootPath = EXT:your_template_name/Resources/Private/ext/AiSearch/Templates/
}
}
3. frontend customization
To adapt the design to your website, copy the content of:
EXT:rms-ai-search/Resources/Private/Templates/Search/Search.html into your own template directory (for path, see definition in the Typoscript constants.
Important note: When editing the HTML structure, make sure that certain CSS classes and IDs are retained. These are required by the extension's JavaScript in order to dynamically generate and display the search results and link lists.
Conclusion
With the RMS AI-Search extension, you can make your TYPO3 site fit for the age of artificial intelligence. The setup is as convenient as usual for developers, while the user experience in the frontend is massively enhanced.
