Analyze rule and category page performance with AI Assist. AI Assist can now analyze the performance of rules and category pages, providing an insight into how merchandising strategies impact search performance. Assist can also provide feature analysis and more complex performance breakdowns, such as by-country, that would have previously required dedicated data science resource. 

Agent Studio now supports the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, enabling external agents and orchestration frameworks to discover and interact with Agent Studio agents. Standardized agent cards allow compatible clients to identify agent capabilities and delegate tasks without Algolia-specific integrations. This simplifies integration with multi-agent workflows and enables greater flexibility in building AI applications. Click here to learn more.

Agent Studio now supports automated evaluations to help assess agent performance before deployment. Test cases are generated from your search index and scored for relevance, faithfulness, and tone. View scores, pass rates, and confidence levels, then compare evaluation runs to measure improvements after configuration changes. This helps teams make informed updates with less manual testing.

Understanding your analytics is key to improving search performance, but finding issues or opportunities can take time.

AI Assist can now answer questions about your search analytics within the Algolia dashboard. Looking for a general overview? Ask Assist to summarize your search performance, highlight recent trends, or identify opportunities for improvement. Or, if you want to drill down into a specific question, ask about individual metrics or compare performance across indices or time periods.

To get started, open Assist and click “Analyze my search performance”, or ask your analytics question in natural language.

If you need to work with your data outside the dashboard, Assist can also generate downloadable CSVs containing the analytics you've requested, making it easy to continue your analysis offline.

DocSearch UI library v5 introduces an improved search experience powered by Agent Studio, with MCP-based tools, prompt suggestions, and conversational memory. Users can also refine results with facet filters, breadcrumbs, and badges. Customers upgrading from v4 should review the migration guide, as some Ask AI parameters have changed.

DocSearch MCP is now available in public beta, enabling MCP-compatible AI coding assistants to search current public developer documentation and answer with cited sources. No signup, API key, or authentication is required to use the hosted endpoint. This helps reduce outdated or unsupported answers by grounding responses in current documentation and making sources easy to verify. Click here to learn more.

AI agents can now create Algolia accounts and applications directly from the Algolia CLI, extending agent workflows beyond managing existing accounts. Agents can also manage application settings after signup, while sensitive actions such as accepting terms, email verification, and billing changes continue to require human approval. This enables end-to-end agent-driven provisioning with appropriate safeguards. Click here to learn more.

Public MCP now supports a new multi-query signature with advanced AI search settings. Configure search parameters such as searchable attributes, ranking, and filters independently of index settings, and update them without recreating the MCP. Click here to learn more.

AI Assist now understands your configuration and uses this to provide advice that's tailored and relevant. A question like “Why do I have a high no-results rate?” will be met with targeted guidance on how to change your current set-up. Assist will also provide links to navigate you to relevant parts of the Algolia platform. This allows you to quickly find the relevant solution needed to take action on an Assist conversation. Assist is aware of your application’s current subscription tier and Algolia release version, and will only direct you to features you can access.

Agent Studio is now generally available, providing a managed platform for building, deploying, and operating AI agents grounded in Algolia data. Customers can configure model providers, connect search and recommendation tools, add safety controls, and monitor conversations through a single API and dashboard. This reduces the complexity of building production-ready AI experiences while providing a consistent, scalable foundation for agent development. Click here to learn more.
