These capabilities, powered by Algolia's deep expertise in AI search and leading proprietary Large Language Models (LLMs), help fashion brands create beautifully intuitive journeys that mirror the artistry of the products they sell. Bernadette Nixon, Chief Executive Officer, Algolia noted: "In fashion, every click should feel like a curated experience.

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.

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.

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 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.'
