Make every interaction smarter with AI retrieval

Every modern AI experience depends on one core capability: finding the right information at the right moment. That process is retrieval. Retrieval is how search engines, LLMs, and AI agents locate the data they need to answer questions, generate content, or take action. When retrieval is strong, these experiences behave intelligently; when it isn’t, they guess.

Algolia's three unique capabilities

Ease of use

Implement a test case in minutes with our APIs. Give your business teams the visibility and control to optimise ranking - and automations to save them time.

Speed

Search as quick as you type, with the fastest enterprise AI search we know of. Faster results mean higher revenues.

Scale

Rely on the largest hosted search engine in the world, with 1.7 trillion searches a year. Algolia is also highly compliant and stable (with up to 99.999% availability).

Agentic experiences

AI agents don’t just answer; they decide. They evaluate options, retrieve the data they need, and act on a user’s behalf. Retrieval gives these agents the context and structure required to make informed, trustworthy decisions.

Branded agents: Create agents tailored to your customers or teams, designed to engage and recommend with your unique expertise.
Agentic operations: Complete workflows with your business data and improve search results by configuring operations that optimize critical KPIs.
Agentic search commerce: Sell your products through third-party agent ecosystems (like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, etc.), ensuring they surface your brand with accuracy and context.

Generative experiences

Generative AI has turned discovery into conversation. People now ask for ideas, explanations, and guidance in natural language and expect coherent responses. Retrieval provides the context that makes those conversations meaningful.

Conversational assistants: Create assistants that guide users through questions, comparisons, and next steps.
Guides: Automatically generate helpful buyer guides from your catalog to simplify complex decisions. Learn more.
Ask AI: Bring conversational answers to your site or support channels so users get immediate clarity, right from the search bar. Learn more.
