Challenges of traditional product recommendation engines
Traditional product recommendation systems often rely on static algorithms or basic filtering, which can lead to:
- Limited personalization: Many traditional systems are unable to factor in complex, real-time insights from user behavior, leading to less relevant suggestions.
- Low engagement and conversion rates: Generic or repetitive product recommendations often fail to capture user interest, resulting in reduced engagement and lower conversion.
- Manual configuration and maintenance: Standard systems often require significant manual input to categorize and tag products, increasing operational costs.
- Inability to adapt to changing user preferences: Traditional systems struggle to keep up with evolving consumer behavior, especially in fast-paced retail or media environments.
