SocialHub.AI Recommendation Engine
socialhub.ai
What it is
SocialHub.AI Recommendation Engine personalizes retail product picks from order history, product affinities, and product pairings. One engine can supply campaign emails, websites or online stores, and API calls for apps or other channels. The email Recommendations block calculates selections at send time, uses live catalog names, images, prices, and links, and excludes products already purchased by that member. Members without purchase history see no email block rather than invented suggestions; new or anonymous visitors can receive trending and popular items. Product-pair patterns are rebuilt nightly from order data, with cross-sell suggestions requiring multiple shared buyers and orders. Unsupported suggestions are omitted. The built-in engine is the default, though an external recommender can replace it. Browser setup uses a public key, allowed domains, and a script snippet. Pricing is available on request; integrations include Shopify, Amazon, Salesforce, and others.
