Algolia
by Algolia, Inc.
Integrate an AI agent with Algolia to run full-text searches over your own indexes and read the matching records back — so the agent answers from your catalog rather than from recall — and to add, update, and delete records as workflows run.
How agents use Algolia
- ✓Agent searches an Algolia product index to find matching items based on user query
- ✓Agent updates Algolia records when product prices or stock levels change in a source system
- ✓Agent ingests new content (articles, products, docs) into Algolia after it is created or updated
- ✓Agent deletes records from the index when corresponding items are removed from the source
- ✓Agent uses Algolia search to power autocomplete or recommendation features in an agent workflow
- ✓Agent searches an Algolia index before it answers, so the reply is grounded in records you control rather than in what the model happens to remember
- ✓Agent retrieves a single record by objectID to confirm a detail — a spec, a rate, a rule — before including it in an answer
- ✓Agent writes many records in one batch request when syncing a whole catalog, instead of one call per item
- ✓Agent lists the available indexes to work out what it can search, rather than depending on a hardcoded index name

Example workflows
Product catalog sync
When a product is added or updated in Shopify, an agent syncs the record to Algolia for instant search.
Grounded answers from your own index
Agent searches an Algolia index before replying, so the answer comes from records you maintain rather than from the model on its own.
Index maintenance from a workflow
Agent partially updates only the fields that changed and deletes records whose source items are gone, keeping the index in step with the source system.
