The biggest challenge in agentic AI isn't building agents. It's evaluating them. AI agents don't just generate answers. They reason, use tools, and take action. That means evaluating them takes more than checking the final output. You need to understand how they reached it, where they fail, and how they'll perform in production. In the latest issue of Hashing It Out: AI Newsletter, we cover the frameworks, metrics, and best practices for evaluating AI agents.

The future of enterprise AI is agentic, and we're proud to be helping build it. We're excited to share that Algolia has been recognized as Agent Ready by MACH Alliance as part of its inaugural 2026 cohort. The Agent Ready recognition highlights MACH-certified organizations that have demonstrated real, production-ready agentic AI capabilities, giving enterprise teams confidence in the technologies they choose. Thank you to MACH Alliance for this recognition, and congratulations to the entire inaugural Agent Ready cohort. Here's to shaping the future of enterprise AI, together.
