Algolia connects to Luffy, the AI employee that works from Slack. Algolia helps businesses across industries quickly create relevant, scalable, and lightning fast Search and Discovery experiences. With Luffy, that capability becomes available from the Slack conversation where the work begins. Your team can ask Luffy to work with documents, projects, meetings, messages, and team knowledge; Luffy gathers the relevant context, completes the task, and returns the result to the channel where work is already happening.
