The possibilities

What could you build?

01

Searchable customer portal

Help customers find the right product, article, or resource from one search experience.

02

Internal resource finder

Make approved operational content easier to find with filters that match how your team works.

Start with the searchable customer portal.

Keep the first version small enough to test with the people who will use it.

  1. 01

    Choose the first job

    Use the first idea as your brief: Help customers find the right product, article, or resource from one search experience. Name the person responsible and the information they need to act.

  2. 02

    Confirm access before connecting

    Index only approved content. Keep administrative keys server-side and filter results by the viewer's access.

  3. 03

    Shape the app with Scout

    Use the starter prompt below. Ask Scout to propose the records, source field mapping, views, and access rules. Preview sample data before connecting Algolia; keep source IDs so records stay traceable.

  4. 04

    Pilot, then expand

    Test with a small approved dataset and a least-privileged user. Check missing records, revoked access, repeated events, and failed requests. Enable live writes or messages only after the responsible owner approves the workflow.

Start with this prompt

Paste into Scout, then adapt it to your team. Do not paste credentials or private customer data.

Create this app with Algolia: Searchable customer portal. Help customers find the right product, article, or resource from one search experience. Start with sample data and a small, approved set of records. Before connecting live data: Index only approved content. Keep administrative keys server-side and filter results by the viewer's access. Propose the data model, access rules, and source-to-app field mapping before implementation. Add source links, a last-updated time, and clear empty and connection-error states. Keep credentials out of client code. Require human approval for external messages, source changes, or money movement. Test duplicate events, revoked access, and recovery before publishing.

Make it work your way.
