Completely understand that. We currently tie each store to a user account. But maybe we can let you start the process to see how the builder works without having to register?

1. Here are the use-cases we've seen so far: marketplaces, search apps, fashion try-on apps, shopping agents, general purpose agents, web search for LLMs, e-commerce aggregators, hedge funds, etc. The most surprising has been new discovery experiences. Here's an example of an app that uses our data: https://www.forbes.com/sites/charliefink/2025/06/04/glance-a...
2. Great catch. We need to make this more clear on the site but we provide ~100k stores out of the box but keep the bigger brands behind an Enterprise paywall. We're working on fixing this.
3. Absolutely. We have purposely separated out search on the home page between our core index vs searching on Amazon, Walmart, etc. from within Agora. We haven't indexed products from the major marketplaces yet because of this challenge. Generally, we also focus on direct sellers and have filters in place with our crawler to parse out resellers.
4. Haven't looked at this but sounds interesting. And similar to how we think about storing e-commerce data with price history over time.
I'd love to chat more. I'm at param [at] searchagora.com if you want to reach out.
I'm a first generation Indian raised in the US. There's a big push from parents in my culture for stability over happiness (cue Indian doctor joke). Sounds like you went through something similar.
This hit me hard. Appreciate you sharing.
I am a fan of algolia though :)
