Stephen also met with customers Harvey Norman and BIG W, and joined a partner dinner, continuing to build and strengthen key relationships. The trip wrapped up with an AMA at a rooftop bar with the Sydney team, bringing great energy, fresh perspectives, and lively discussion.

RAG works well for simple questions. It struggles when reasoning is needed. “What are your shipping options?” is easy. “Which products reduce shipping costs for fragile items to Europe?” is not. That’s where agentic RAG comes in. It breaks questions into steps and uses the right sources. More powerful, but more complex. Most teams will use both. RAG for simple queries, agentic for complex ones. We break it all down in the latest issue of our Hashing It Out: AI Newsletter.

For developers, speed is not just about saving time. It directly shapes what you can build. When spinning up infrastructure takes hours, iteration slows. Ideas get deprioritized. Experimentation drops. That is why integrations like Algolia + Stripe Projects are interesting. They reduce the friction between idea and execution, so you can move from concept to a working system in minutes. Faster setup enables faster iteration. And in systems powered by AI, iteration is what drives better relevance, better decisions, and better outcomes. If you are building search, commerce, or AI-driven experiences, this is worth a closer look. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eKyEDaH7
