AdGuard Home vs Algolia: at a glance
What is AdGuard Home?
AdGuard Home's stable line takes a Go security update and turns off Multipath TCP.
AdGuard Home v0.107.80 is a security release on the stable line: it moves to the Go version with the 1.27.3 fixes, disables Multipath TCP support to avoid CVE-2026-98432, and drops macOS 13 Ventura as a consequence of Go 1.27. The beta channel moved to the new UI and v1.0.0 numbering at the end of September, with v1.0.0-b.1 as the first build.
What is Algolia?
Algolia's AI Assist now explains why rules and category pages underperform
AI Assist keeps gaining diagnostic jobs: after the No results agent and automated tuning suggestions in October, it now analyzes the performance of merchandising rules and category pages. Agent Studio added A2A interoperability and pre-deployment evaluations scored on relevance, faithfulness and tone. Retail media network orchestration reached general availability for Elevate Ecommerce customers.

AdGuard Home
2.5INFRA · APIS
AdGuard Home's stable line takes a Go security update and turns off Multipath TCP.
◆ Current state
AdGuard Home v0.107.80 is a security release on the stable line: it moves to the Go version with the 1.27.3 fixes, disables Multipath TCP support to avoid CVE-2026-98432, and drops macOS 13 Ventura as a consequence of Go 1.27. The beta channel moved to the new UI and v1.0.0 numbering at the end of September, with v1.0.0-b.1 as the first build.
◆ Where it's heading
Two tracks run in parallel: a stable 0.107 line that ships mostly security and dependency updates, and a beta line that has become v1.0.0 and carries the new UI. Platform support is now set by Go's own requirements, as the macOS 13 removal shows on both lines.
◆ Prediction
The next visible moves are likely further v1.0.0 betas and continued 0.107 security releases; the entries do not show when 1.0 reaches stable.

Algolia's AI Assist now explains why rules and category pages underperform
◆ Current state
AI Assist keeps gaining diagnostic jobs: after the No results agent and automated tuning suggestions in October, it now analyzes the performance of merchandising rules and category pages. Agent Studio added A2A interoperability and pre-deployment evaluations scored on relevance, faithfulness and tone. Retail media network orchestration reached general availability for Elevate Ecommerce customers.
◆ Where it's heading
Two lines are running in parallel: AI Assist as an analyst over a customer's own search data, and Agent Studio as a platform for agents others can call and test. Both move work from merchandisers' manual tuning to recommendations they approve.
◆ Prediction
AI Assist will likely move from diagnosing to proposing concrete rule edits; the entries show it inspecting rules but not yet changing them.
