Having a higher ranked Algolope tends to offer better bonuses and chances.  Additionally, training can boost your stats +1-3 points so it's beneficial to train your algos to do better in activities and to produce stronger offspring.

Intelligence stat has an additional bonus of applying the stat itself as a potential bonus to find more items in scavenging. For example if your Algo has a INT: 6, then they have a 6% chance to find an additional item. You'll know your algo was successful or unsuccessful by the following comments:

Str Bonus: +6% chance extra find [1-6/100 chance]

[Import] didn't find anything else. 89/100.
or

[Import] successfully found another item with a bonus roll of 3/100!
