Agentic Experiences for B2B Catalogs in Weeks, Not Months

Join us for the webinar on July 16, 2026 to discover how Algolia and McFadyen Digital put AI into action in under 4 weeks.

Most B2B catalogs were never built for how buyers actually search.

Industrial buyers guess part numbers. They describe products imperfectly. They search using context, not exact keywords. Traditional search breaks immediately, and customers abandon the journey before they ever convert.

That’s exactly what McFadyen Digital and Algolia set out to solve for a leading B2B manufacturer.

In our upcoming webinar, we’ll show how we transformed a complex industrial B2B catalog into a live agentic commerce experience in under four weeks using Algolia Agent Studio.

Join us to see the Proof, not just Promises

In this session, you’ll see how modern AI retrieval changes the buying journey:

  • AI agents that resolve incorrect part number searches
  • Context-aware recommendations grounded in real catalog data
  • Image-based product discovery
  • Search + conversational buying experiences working together

Most importantly, we’ll show the architecture behind it and why production-ready AI starts with retrieval, not chatbots.
