last year I put out a call for partners to help me upgrade CodeTV Studios. I was expecting that no one would respond — it was an unusual request!

but @algolia.com came in immediately & was the best partner I could have asked for. here's a little thread of the improvements they helped make possible

a placard that reads, "Algolia made this set build possible — Jan 2025"

After an ... interesting side-quest trying to get AI into the @tanstack.com search, we're now back to @algolia.com with a custom search interface. Search across frameworks - side-wide or library focused.

I'm happy we're back to IT JUST WORKS™. Thanks @tannerlinsley.com 🙏

the custom search interface, in dark mode, showing a search for "placeholder", which yields results for query, table and router. Search results are labeled with frameworks like "React" or "Angular".

@pixelastic.bsky.social now explains how he made the frontend silky smooth by adding lots of improvements!

🔹 Using @cloudinary.bsky.social cdn
🔹 Using Low quality image placeholder ( LQIP )
🔹 Prefetching videos when the mouse is approaching the hit

Well done Tim!

🎙️@pixelastic.bsky.social shared an evolution story:
10 years ago? He wanted to build his speech-to-text search idea.

But today? AI made it happen in 10 minutes.
💡 AI + Algolia = fast innovation.
🔥 If your frontend is done right, you can take plain text search and make it next-level interactive.

🧠 Danny Sheridan went full wizard mode:
Built a custom docs search with an AI agent using:

🔹 Algolia
🔹 Claude
🔹 Turbo Puffer
🔹 Cohere
🔹 Pinecone

He exploded the data and enriched it through multiple APIs.

📌 Key takeaway: Combine API powers to get richer, smarter search results.

🔧 Joni dropped some 🔥

Ever wanted to automatically enhance your records at ingestion time?
✨ With Algolia's Ingestion API + fetch(), you can:

→ Call external APIs (like OpenAI)
→ Enrich your data (generate keywords, tags, etc)
→ Index smarter 💡

This is where magic meets search. #DevBit #Algolia
