Product recommendations are everywhere, but do you know how they work under the hood? In this talk, we’ll explore how recommendation systems have evolved, from traditional approaches to the latest cutting-edge techniques shaping the future. We’ll break down hybrid search, graph traversals, and LLMs, showing how they work together to create smarter, more context-aware recommendations.

To bring it all to life, we’ll dive into a real-world case study where these techniques have driven real success.

If you’re curious about the next generation of product recommendations and how to build them, this is a talk you won’t want to miss!
