Products, side by side
Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
Algolia
Application
Generates shopping, category and comparison buyer's guides automatically from a product catalog, in English, French and German, for display on a retailer's own site.
Conversational assistant for documentation, support and site search: it answers questions in plain language from the customer's own Algolia-indexed content with citations, using the customer's choice of LLM provider.
Coveo
Application
Case creation and deflection for support sites: machine-learning models narrow the case classification choices and recommend articles while the customer types, so cases arrive complete and many are never submitted.
Conversational search for websites, service portals and workplace search: users ask in natural language and follow up, and Coveo's Search Agent reasons through each question and answers from the customer's approved content, asking or escalating when it is unsure.
Question-answering model that shows a rich snippet from the best matching content directly on a search results page, so customers and support agents get a direct, non-generated answer without opening articles.
