Recommendation engines analyze user data like purchase history and preferences to recommend additional products or content. They typically collect, store, analyze, and filter data in four phases. There are three main types of recommendation engines: collaborative filtering based on user similarity; content-based filtering based on item descriptions and user profiles; and hybrid systems that combine algorithms. Recommendation engines are used by ecommerce sites, streaming services, and other applications to enhance sales and deliver personalized experiences.
