How we use artificial intelligence to create personalized shopping experiences across our 8+ e-commerce stores, delivering improved engagement and revenue results.
Personalization has become an important factor for e-commerce success. Our AI-powered personalization engine processes over 10 million interactions daily across our stores, delivering tailored experiences that contribute to business results.
Our development of AI-powered personalization began three years ago with a straightforward question: "Why are we showing the same products to everyone?" Here's how our system evolved:
Simple "customers who bought X also bought Y" logic with basic segmentation.
Matrix factorization-based recommendations using user behavior patterns.
Multi-model approach combining collaborative filtering, content-based filtering, and deep learning.
Our current personalization engine processes multiple data streams in real-time. Here's how it works:
Real-time user interactions, product data, session behavior
User embeddings, product features, contextual signals
Multi-model ensemble with real-time scoring
Inventory checks, pricing rules, promotional logic
A/B testing, performance tracking, continuous learning
Our personalization engine analyzes various data points to understand user preferences:
How do you personalize for users with no history? This was a significant initial challenge.
30% of our daily visitors are new users with zero interaction history. Traditional collaborative filtering fails completely for these users.
Phase 1: Intelligent Defaults
Phase 2: Rapid Personalization
Serving personalized recommendations to millions of users while maintaining sub-100ms latency requirements.
Focusing solely on relevance optimization can create filter bubbles and reduce discovery. We worked to find the right balance.
Here's how personalization functions across different touchpoints in our stores:
Dynamic homepage content based on user preferences and behavior patterns.
"You might also like" sections on product pages and throughout the shopping journey.
Search results ranked based on personal preferences and behavior patterns.
Personalization success involves both technical and business metrics. We track impact across multiple dimensions:
We continue to develop our personalization capabilities. Here's what we're working on:
Using computer vision to understand product visual similarity and style preferences. Early tests indicate 15% improvement in fashion recommendation accuracy.
AI-powered chat that understands natural language queries and provides personalized product recommendations. Pilot program shows 32% higher engagement than traditional search.
Using personalization data to predict demand and optimize inventory across our stores. This approach has reduced stockouts by 25% while minimizing overstock situations.
AI-powered personalization can help improve competitive positioning in today's market. Consider starting with user behavior data and building from there.
