AniGuide – Exploring Anime Discovery with Algolia Agent Studio
This is a submission for the Algolia Agent Studio Challenge
: Consumer-Facing Non-Conversational Experiences
What I Built
AniGuide is an experimental anime discovery prototype built to explore Algolia Agent Studio as a non-conversational AI experience.
Instead of focusing on chat, the goal was to understand how an AI agent can assist users by retrieving and ranking structured content (anime titles) based on attributes like genre, mood, year, and rating.
How I Used Algolia Agent Studio
I indexed a curated anime dataset into Algolia with faceted attributes such as:
genres
mood
year
rating
Using Agent Studio, I configured an agent that retrieves relevant anime entries based on user intent and constraints, prioritizing results using ranking signals like rating and recency.
This allowed me to experiment with agent-driven discovery powered by fast retrieval, rather than a traditional search or chat interface.
Why Fast Retrieval Matters
Since the experience relies on filtering and ranking structured data in real time, fast retrieval is critical.
Algolia’s low-latency search enables the agent to feel responsive and helpful, making content discovery smoother and more intuitive for users.
Closing Thoughts
AniGuide is a learning-focused prototype that helped me better understand agent workflows, data modeling, and the role of retrieval in AI-assisted consumer experiences. I’m excited to continue building on these ideas in future projects.
