I’ve learned that poor search impacts revenue faster than most companies expect... Slow results, weak relevance, & search that misses intent all create friction customers notice immediately. We built the Algolia Search Grader to help identify those gaps: https://t.co/V201l7zoQb

This stat caught my attention: ChatGPT-referred ecommerce visits convert at 11.4% versus 5.3% for organic search.

AI is a part of the discovery journey, helping consumers narrow choices and build confidence before they ever reach a brand’s website.

I’m seeing AI investment move quickly from experimentation into operational deployment. The challenge now is building the infrastructure, retrieval systems, & connections that make AI useful in real workflows.

Context & relevance matter more than ever.

Excited to welcome Peter Minev to Algolia as SVP of Engineering. Peter brings deep experience scaling engineering teams and complex platforms, and I’m looking forward to the leadership he’ll bring as AI continues to reshape search and discovery...

Amazon’s reported “hybrid mode” approach highlights where AI shopping is heading: Some tasks need speed. Others need guidance. The advantage will come from understanding intent and adapting the experience accordingly.

@Microsoft’s AI research reinforces something important:

AI adoption is as much about culture as it is technology.

The organizations moving fastest are creating cultures built for experimentation and learning.

AI adoption is now developer-led, and that changes the competitive dynamic.

The advantage isn’t just scale anymore; it’s iteration velocity.

The teams that build, test, and adapt faster will move ahead faster.

Agents are getting more capable faster than organizations can operationalize them.

The bottleneck is shifting from model capability to reliability, governance, and orchestration.

That’s where the real work starts.

AI in CX isn’t universally necessary. It needs purpose. Trust depends on the situation. Users may trust recommendations, but not decisions.
We need to add AI thoughtfully to build trust and deliver impactful CX. via @cxdive: https://t.co/G29tyMQhSM

Stripe is redefining how developers provision infrastructure, and we see this as a major change in how modern apps come to life.

Search should be part of the default stack.

With Stripe Projects, teams and agents can spin up production-ready services, including Algolia, in minutes.

[John A. Stewart @johncorpcomms]

Retail investment in AI is not slowing.

61% of orgns plan to implement agentic AI in the next year. The real opportunity lies in using it to improve customer experience, not just back-office efficiency.

Customer-facing AI will define the winners.
