How it works

Connected in a minute. In your control after that.

  1. Connect Algolia

    Open Connections, find Algolia and paste an API key from your Algolia account settings. Cicada checks it works before saving it.

  2. Choose what it may do

    Full, Ask first or Read-only, for the whole workspace. Share Algolia with the team, or keep it under each person's own login.

  3. Ask from anywhere

    Text your agent on iMessage or WhatsApp, message it in Slack or the app, or put a Algolia job on a schedule: every morning, every Friday.

Works with your other tools

Algolia, together with the rest of your stack.

Ask for an outcome that spans apps and your agent pulls from each one, cross-checks them and sends back one answer.
