💡 What is it?

Portly Search Assistant is an AI powered way to find a phone number by describing what is wanted in plain language, as an alternative to the Local, Toll Free, and International search options. 

🧪 Portly is currently part of an active test and may not appear on the search page for everyone.

⚙️ How it works 

Finding Portly on the Search Page

🌐 Go to https://www.numberbarn.com/search		Look for a tile labeled Portly Search Assistant, tagged New, next to the Local, Toll Free, and International tiles on the number search page.

Searching with Portly

1	Click on the Portly Search Assistant button. A chat panel opens, headed Portly The Pig.
2	Type a description of the number wanted into the message box.
3	Portly responds with matching numbers in the chat. The number search results on the page update at the same time.

📌 Things to Know 

Part of an Active Test

Portly is part of an ongoing test on the number search page, so it will not appear for every visitor or on every visit. This is expected and does not indicate an account or site issue.

Buying a Number Through Portly

Ask Portly to buy or add a specific number to the cart. It adds the number and opens the shopping cart to continue checkout, the same checkout used across the site.
