Whether a consumer is browsing for bold streetwear or timeless minimalism, the experience evolves in real time—turning inspiration into engagement and casual interest into confident purchase decisions. AI Ranking: Not just what's popular—what's perfect for your customer. Fashion isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither is search. Algolia's AI Ranking allows retailers to prioritize what matters most: style relevance, current trends, and brand vision. By analyzing over 20 fashion-focused signals—from user behavior to seasonal timing—search results are continuously re-ranked to highlight the right look, at the right time, for the right customer.

Revenue-Based Ranking gives merchandisers complete control to align product visibility with strategic fashion campaigns. Collections: Curated fashion stories that inspire, not overwhelm. Collections are more than categories—they're digital lookbooks. Algolia's Collections organize vast product inventories into themed, editorial-style groupings like "Vacation Ready," "Back-to-Work Essentials," or "Evening Luxe."

With detailed guidance on fit, fabric, occasion, and pairing, Algolia's Shopping Guides can reduce returns and create more satisfied, fashion-forward shoppers—especially on mobile, where inspiration often strikes first. Smart Groups: Fashion merchandising, elevated. No dev team required. Algolia's Smart Groups put the power of product curation into the hands of fashion merchandisers. With an intuitive dashboard and AI-driven logic, fashion teams can create dynamic displays of products—tailored by style, color palette, or campaign theme—without needing to manually pin every item. From launching new collections to responding to microtrends, Smart Groups make fashion merchandising agile, strategic, and beautifully simple. Retail Media: The future of monetized retail merchandising. Looking ahead, Algolia will empower retailers to monetize prime positions within their product grids as valuable Retail Media spaces. As the market for Retail Media continues to expand, it is projected to account for nearly a quarter of all US media investment by 2028, according to Statista. By leveraging Smart Groups, retailers have the ability to honor brand agreements in which, for instance, they can ensure competing products do not appear together or must be in a specified position in search results, thus offering brands enhanced visibility and strategic placement opportunities.

Algolia's Intelligent Fashion Solution is already driving performance for some of the world's most iconic fashion brands, powering experiences that are as refined and inspiring as the products they sell.

Algolia Unveils New Real-Time, Context-Aware AI Agents Across Salesforce and Adobe
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Algolia, the AI-native search and discovery platform used by over 18,000 businesses, announced a new AI agent experience that proves how autonomous systems can reason and act on real-time data across enterprise platforms. Demonstrated using Salesforce's Agentforce and integrated with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), Adobe Experience Platform (AEP), and Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC), Algolia shows what's possible when agents are equipped with live, structured context, without latency or hallucination. The shift toward agentic AI is already underway. But most agents operate in silos or on stale information. Algolia addresses this head-on by serving as the connective intelligence layer across platforms. Algolia semantically interprets user intent, retrieves structured content from its index containing data from multiple customer datastores, and assembles context-aware responses in real time—bridging the gap between front-end agent platforms like Agentforce and the backend systems that hold critical content and customer signals. Bernadette Nixon, Chief Executive Officer, Algolia, said: 'Salesforce's Agentforce is a compelling vision for how enterprise agents should operate. With Algolia in the mix, it becomes actionable. Agents can understand a customer's intent and instantly pull from Adobe, Salesforce, and other systems to deliver real answers—not guesses.' Algolia handles this orchestration through its AI-native search engine, which retrieves the most relevant information from its index, content that has been ingested and structured from platforms like Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC), and Adobe Experience Platform (AEP). Whether surfacing personalized media, live product availability, or behavioral attributes, Algolia assembles responses that reflect the full customer context and returns them in milliseconds. The result is an agent experience that feels intuitive, precise, and deeply responsive to user needs. Consider a cruise line deploying Agentforce to help guests plan their trips as an example. A customer might ask about Mediterranean sailings in May. The agent interprets the request, sources destination content from AEM, pricing and availability from SFCC, and tailors results based on AEP-driven profile data like travel history, loyalty tier, and preferred ports. Once booked, Algolia updates the user's profile, enabling Adobe's platform to personalize downstream experiences across channels—from emails to dynamic landing pages to future itineraries. Nixon noted: 'This is not theoretical. It's available now and can be adopted by enterprise teams building agent-first applications on top of their existing systems.' What distinguishes Algolia is not just speed, but precision. It enables agents to retrieve the right content, in the right format, from an index designed to reflect the business's unique structure and priorities. There's no custom routing logic, no brittle connectors—just real-time performance, powered by semantic understanding and enterprise-scale architecture. Algolia's positioning is reinforced by its deep integrations across the Salesforce and Adobe ecosystems. It is the only retrieval engine integrated into Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) and Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) with bi-directional capabilities, and it powers discovery experiences in production for major brands running on Salesforce Commerce and Service Cloud. Recent research from analyst firm Valoir reinforces the growing momentum behind Agentforce. Companies using it reported a 16x acceleration in deployment speed over traditional DIY agent builds. Accuracy improved by 75%, thanks to tuned models and robust guardrails. Setup time dropped by more than 7x, aided by prebuilt tools and templates. Security and compliance were built in from day one via Salesforce's Einstein Trust Layer—eliminating the need for teams to construct governance frameworks from scratch. When combined with Algolia's real-time semantic layer, these capabilities take on even greater strategic value. Enterprises can now operationalize intelligent agents that don't just function, but also understand. Nixon added: 'This isn't about showing off what agents could do. It's about showing what they can do right now with a powerful user experience, if they have the right layer of intelligence underneath. That's where Algolia fits.' About Algolia Algolia is a leading provider of AI search solutions, serving over 18,000 businesses and 500,000 developers globally. Renowned for its user-friendly API-First platform and the fastest AI search technology, Algolia is the largest hosted search engine, trusted by businesses and developers for 1.75 trillion searches per year. Backed by a decade of innovation, expertise, and growth, Algolia continuously redefines the search landscape with its commitment to user-friendly solutions, significant scalability, and unmatched speed. Learn more: Note for Editors Agentforce is a proactive, autonomous AI application that provides specialized, always-on support to employees or customers. You can equip Agentforce with any necessary business knowledge to execute tasks according to its specific role. Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) is a cloud-based eCommerce platform that enables businesses to create and manage online storefronts across web, mobile, social, and in-store channels. Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is a comprehensive content management system (CMS) that helps enterprises create, manage, deliver, and optimize digital experiences across websites, mobile apps, forms, and more. It's part of Adobe's broader Experience Cloud platform and is geared toward delivering personalized, scalable, and consistent experiences across customer touchpoints. Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) is Adobe's data platform that allows the capture of online and offline data to be used in Adobe's real-time customer data platform (CDP). This allows organizations to centralize and standardize customer data from multiple sources to deliver personalized, real-time experiences across channels.
