Recommended for you

Surface items personalized to your users.

Recommended for you surfaces items that best align with the user’s interests based on their affinities. It can be added to various pages, such as the homepage or category pages, to provide a personalized shopping experience.

This is a beta feature according to Algolia’s Terms of Service (“Beta Services”).

Recommended for you is compatible with both Classic and Advanced Personalization.

How recommended for you works

Personalized recommendations use the same Recommend models, but they incorporate user affinities to tailor the recommendations to individual users.

The recommendations are re-ranked based on the user’s affinities, which are derived from their interactions and preferences.
