I am not trying to be flippant, but maybe you are misunderstanding what Algoia provides?

Let's say I have an eCommerce platform. The search provided by the framework is slow and I want to put together an instant search feature. It's too slow, and I don't have a search specialist to speed it up. So I add the Algoia plugin to the platform, sync my products and the work is done. Literally, real world example, install the plugin and suddenly my archaic eCom platform has instant search. Not only that, but I can manage the search result weigths and preferences from within Algolia with no special experience. My existing search couldn't do that.

I am not sure where you would need an ML specialist in any of this, certainly not a whole team. For most people Algolia out of the box is plenty.

This was a major selling point for us when we switched to Algolia. The business people want to be able to manage things like search without having to go through the programmers, just like they manage GA/GTM and such.
