Recommendation algorithms, tuned to your site.
A recommendation engine that combines crowd wisdom, predictive models, each visitor’s own history and AI that understands what every product and article is about, so each visitor sees what they are most likely to want next, in product recommendations and content recommendations. It adapts to your kind of site on its own: outfits in a fashion store, accessories that fit in electronics, the next read on a news site.

Product recommendation algorithms, tuned to what you sell.
Personyze reads your catalog, works out what kind of shop it is and adapts its algorithms to it. A fashion store gets outfits, an electronics store gets the accessories that fit, a pet store gets the refill before the bag runs out. Nothing to configure.
Complete the look, Similar style, In your style
Personyze reads each product’s picture and title once and records its look: the kind of item, colour, pattern, style, occasion, season and who it is for. It weighs that with what your shoppers bought and viewed, so every row reads as “this goes with that” or “more like this”.
- Complete the lookPieces of other kinds that go with the item on screen. A navy bomber gets a sweater, a beanie and sneakers, never twelve more jackets.
- Similar styleThe same kind of item in a matching style, for shoppers still choosing.
- In your styleAcross the site, items ranked by the looks this shopper has browsed and put in the cart.

Trail shoes get running socks, a bottle and a headlamp; a tent gets a sleeping bag, a pad and a lantern. Personyze keeps each row to one activity: running, football, camping, ski.
- One activity per rowNo tent next to running shoes, no ski wax next to a football.

Personyze reads every article once: its topics, the people, companies and places in it, news or guide, beginner or expert, and whether it stays relevant. A story published an hour ago has related reading before anyone has opened it, and the list is always full.

Another angleWhat a warmer coast means for marketsTwo signals for every product. The balance shifts by itself.
For each product, Personyze weighs what shoppers did with it and how it looks. A bestseller is recommended mostly from real purchases; a new arrival mostly from its look, so it gets good recommendations the day it is added.



Purchases count from day one. The balance moves on its own as they build up.


Bought togetherShoppers who buy items together are building an outfit.


Viewed togetherShoppers who view items together are usually comparing alternatives.

Add Match the visitor to any algorithm: brand and size from the shopper’s own history, their gender, and a price like the ones they look at. The algorithm still chooses the products; the rules decide which come first.

Every widget runs one algorithm, and can keep others behind it to fill any empty slot. On top of these, Automatic tunes itself to your kind of store: Complete the look, Similar style, In your style, Accessories that fit, Complete the room, Time to restock and Gear for the same activity (by kind of store). How each family works, in plain words: recommendation algorithms explained.
Which algorithm on which page, and what fills in.
Each page in the widget editor opens with one algorithm marked Recommended. If your store has no data for it yet, the mark moves to the next in line — and every widget keeps fallbacks behind its algorithm, so a row is never empty.
Choose the algorithm, then keep the row full.
Two walkthroughs in the real panel: one widget built properly, with a filter, a fallback and a title for each algorithm — and Matches Their Search putting what a visitor searched for on the home page.
Each algorithm, up close.
The algorithms shoppers recognise have pages of their own, and the guides show them at work on real kinds of stores.

Every algorithm in the help center →What is a product recommendation algorithm?
The rule a recommendation widget uses to choose which products to show each shopper: what shoppers like them bought or viewed, what goes with the product on screen, what looks like it, their own history, or what just changed in your catalog. Personyze has 27 algorithms for products and 22 for articles; every widget runs one and keeps others behind it to fill any empty slot.
What are the main types of recommendation engine algorithms?
Collaborative filtering learns from what shoppers did together: Cross-Sells, Others Who Viewed Also Viewed and Viewed Next. Content-based algorithms match products by what they are and how they look: Similar Items (AI), Complete the look and Similar style. Popularity shows what everyone wants: Best Sellers, Trending Now and Popular in the Visitor's Country. History brings back the shopper’s own items: Recently Viewed and Buy it Again. And your own rules choose any products you like. Personyze weighs the collaborative and the content signals together for every product.
Which recommendation algorithm should I use on each page?
The one the widget editor marks Recommended: Personalized Recommendations on the home page, Best Sellers on a category page, Viewed Next on a product page, Cross-Sells in the cart and on the thank-you page, and Matches Their Search on search results; on an article, Read Next. If your store has no data for it yet, the mark moves to the next in line.
How does Complete the look work?
On a product page it shows pieces of other kinds that go with the item on screen: a navy bomber gets a sweater, a beanie and sneakers, never more jackets. It comes from what shoppers bought together, cleaned up by each product’s look, so the same item in another size, children’s items next to adults’ and things bought with everything are dropped. Similar style comes from what shoppers viewed together: the same kind of item in a matching style.
How do you recommend a brand-new product with no sales yet?
From its look. Personyze reads each product’s picture and title once, so a new arrival is recommended mostly from how it looks on the day it is added, and more from real purchases as they build up; the balance shifts by itself. Similar Items (AI) reads titles, brands, descriptions and categories too, and New in Stock puts what was just added in front of returning visitors.
Do the algorithms adapt to my kind of store?
Yes. Personyze reads your catalog, works out what kind of shop it is and tunes the algorithms to it: Complete the look in fashion, accessories that fit in electronics, Complete the room in home and furniture, Time to restock in beauty, grocery and pet stores, gear for the same activity in sports and outdoor, and the next step on the same topic on a content site. Nothing to configure.
Can recommendations match each shopper’s size, brand and price?
Yes. Match the visitor puts what fits each shopper first: brand and size from their own history, their gender, and a price like the ones they look at. The algorithm still picks the products and the rules only change the order, so the row is never filled with random items.
What does Automatic do?
One widget for every page that chooses what to show on each page by itself, from your own data, in one order: on a product page Viewed Next, then Similar Items (AI); on a category page the best sellers in that category; with something in the cart, cross-sells for what is in it; then on every page Personalized Recommendations, Popular in the Visitor's Country and Trending Now; and the newest products last, so it is never empty. In a store with look data it also shows Complete the look on product pages. In the widget editor it is the first card, marked Recommended, and a new widget on your site starts on it.
What is the difference between “customers who bought this also bought” and “customers who viewed this also viewed”?
Bought together shows what goes with the product, learned from orders: shoppers who buy together are building an outfit or a set, so it feeds Cross-Sells and Complete the look. Viewed together shows alternatives, learned from visits: shoppers who view together are comparing, so it feeds Others Who Viewed Also Viewed and Similar style. More on customers who bought this also bought and customers who viewed this also viewed.
Can I see which algorithm sells more?
Yes. Every widget counts times shown, clicks, click rate and purchases within 7 days of a click, for each recommendation source and each product, and an A/B test can put two widgets with two algorithms against each other.
