Definition

Algolia is an AI-powered search and product discovery platform that provides hosted search, NeuralSearch, merchandising, and personalization for ecommerce and other applications.

What Algolia does

It delivers fast, relevant search and discovery experiences, combining keyword and AI/semantic (NeuralSearch) matching with merchandising and personalization controls. It is used by retailers and digital businesses to power on-site search and product discovery.

How it relates to catalog intelligence

Search surfaces products from the underlying catalog, so results are only as good as the data. Catalog intelligence improves the completeness and consistency of the attributes a search platform like Algolia depends on to match, filter, and rank products.
