How Algolia uses AI to deliver smarter search

AI is crucial for Algolia's strategy in enhancing and extending its search solutions. The company has access to a powerful dataset that enables it to develop comprehensive intelligent automation capabilities while maintaining strict data privacy policies. Search is a complex problem, requiring companies to evolve their relevance by solving multiple issues such as clean and structured data, user intent detection, result ranking (and re-ranking), and transparency. Algolia has built a family of AI algorithms that solve the most important aspects of search, including Natural Language Processing (NLP), automated personalization, dynamic synonym suggestions, dynamic re-ranking, voice and natural language understanding, and integration with customers' ML/AI models and technologies. The company aims to use any type of custom AI algorithm while maintaining a transparent and understandable approach for its customers.
