Grocery loyalty is up for grabs. As prices climb, shoppers are rethinking where, what, and how they buy. Our latest Ecommerce AI Pulse surveyed 1,000 U.S. consumers and found: → 75% are stressed about grocery bills → 44% don’t necessarily have a go-to grocery store → 48% would be more likely to shop with a grocer that implements AI → 71% of parents say they would use an AI shopping agent But there’s a catch. Consumers won’t trust AI if the shopping experience behind it can’t get the basics right. The opportunity for grocers starts with better product discovery, accurate inventory, relevant alternatives, and AI grounded in reliable product data. See what the findings reveal about inflation, AI, and the fight for grocery shopper loyalty. ⤵

AI is moving fast, but that doesn't mean you need to have everything figured out today. Featured guest Emily Pfeiffer, Principal Analyst at Forrester, joined Algolia to talk about where AI-powered product discovery is really headed. Her advice? Ditch the FOMO. Fix the fundamentals first. Because the brands winning at this aren't moving fastest. They're building on solid ground. 3 things to focus on now: → Better product data → Conversational search → Small experiments, not full catalog overhauls The future of shopping is still being written. Start with the fundamentals. They'll matter more than whatever's trending next. Full convo with Emily in the comments ⤵

A messy Notion database of books became a fully searchable app. With one prompt. Using Lovable + Algolia: Notion connected as the data source, an Algolia index generated automatically, rating filters and typo tolerance added, and a full frontend built around it. No manual indexing. No black box. Code stayed fully inspectable. The pattern works for more than book lists. Any messy dataset, turned into real search.

Your next AI agent might never talk to a customer. And that’s the point. Agentic search can do a lot more than power conversational experiences. Triggered from your webapp’s backend, agents can work behind the scenes to turn the knowledge already in your search index into action. In the latest Hashing It Out, we explore 4 ways to put that idea to work: → Identify precisely compatible products → Create consistent product descriptions in your brand voice → Generate contextual SEO and ad content → Give sales teams real-time, inventory-aware recommendations Your index already contains valuable knowledge about your products, inventory, and business. Agents can help put that knowledge to work, even when there’s no customer prompt involved. Dive into all 4 patterns and see what you can build with Algolia Agent Studio 👇

Big replatforming projects? Digital leaders are thinking smaller. Guest speaker Emily Pfeiffer, Principal Analyst at Forrester, joined Algolia to share the top priorities she's hearing from digital leaders, and one theme stood out: organizations want to get more from the technology they already have. That means preserving existing investments, making targeted improvements, and prioritizing changes with fast time to value. Search is a clear example: organizations are adding standalone search alongside their existing commerce platforms instead of a full rip-and-replace. Watch the full webinar to hear Emily break down the five priorities shaping digital strategy today. Link in the comments ⤵
