dotAI Search in the JavaScript SDK

Description

Bring AI-powered search and chat experiences to your headless sites without the usual friction. The new dotAI Search and Chatbot components are now built directly into the dotCMS JavaScript SDK, giving developers ready-to-use, production-ready components that connect seamlessly to the dotAI backend.
