Interpreting A/B experiment results can often be complex, especially when assessing the significance of observed differences. To provide greater clarity and statistical context, confidence intervals have been introduced. These intervals help indicate the range within which the true effect is likely to fall, making it easier to evaluate the reliability of experiment outcomes. Confidence intervals are visualized on a time series chart, positioned directly below the standard A/B test results.

Algolia's Visual Editor now supports multi-item drag and drop, making bulk pinning changes more convenient and faster. Simply select which items to move and drag them to the desired position before or after other items in your results grid. 

Collections no longer require calling the Push Task to stay up to date. You can now apply transformations using supported API clients (Go, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python), which handle ingestion automatically. This reduces setup friction and helps business users get started faster. Click here to learn more.

Business users can now generate product collections using natural language prompts like “vintage dresses with a floral print.” Powered by NeuralSearch, this enhancement automatically curates relevant items based on semantic relevance. It reduces manual work, speeds up collection creation, and helps teams respond quickly to seasonal trends and merchandising needs. Click here to learn more. 

We've enhanced Smart Group workflows in Merchandising Studio’s Visual Editor, enabling streamlined curation across Search, Categories, and Collections. Combine index-level optimization with strategic Smart Group placement in your Compositions - all in connected, intuitive flows and through one visual interface. What's more, you can easily curate individual Groups and gain new explainability insights - for example, into the ranking factors behind them.

A/B testing now supports multi-variant experiments, which saves time and helps customers find their optimal settings, faster. Customers can now test up to five variants (one control and four variants). In addition, A/B testing is introducing an improved UX to help better communicate A/B testing results and make way for the exciting developments we have planned. Customers now start on an overview screen that lists their recent experiments. Clicking into a test gives a full page of results with a detailed breakdown of metrics.

Create, edit, and apply data transformations directly in the Algolia DataHub - no coding required. Easily add or remove fields, filter records, or compute new values using a guided form. This update reduces setup time, improves data quality, and makes it easier to optimize search experiences without technical support. Click here to learn more.

Collections now support Smart Group injections, enabling business users to boost visibility for priority items like "Sponsored Products" or "Top Picks" within existing collections. You can either use already existing Smart Groups or create new ones specifically for collections, providing flexible control over product presentation while maintaining your existing collection structure.

Collections now supports advanced condition logic for more precise dynamic assortments. Previously limited to simple all-AND or all-OR rules, Collections can now combine AND/OR operators within a single definition and include numeric comparisons like "greater than" and "less than". This enables sophisticated groupings such as "Brand is Nike OR Adidas AND Price under £100 AND Rating above 4.5" without manual curation. These enhancements reduce merchandising effort while enabling more targeted product collections that automatically stay current with catalogue changes. 

Merchandisers can now search for any product displayed in the Visual Editor using the new Find in results bar, even if the item is initially not visible or in the loaded results. This improvement removes the previous limitation of browser-based search (Command+F), enabling users to locate and act on any result, regardless of its initial position. The searched product is highlighted in its current position (e.g., position 465), allowing users to scroll directly to it for quickly merchandising those products as needed.  A new shortcut (Command+B on Mac, Ctrl+B on Windows) quickly triggers this functionality, improving speed and usability for large merchandising sets. This feature is now available to all customers with access to the Visual Editor.
