A recommender system engine is a software component or service that analyzes user behavior and item attributes to predict and surface the most relevant content, products, or actions for each user. It typically uses machine learning, collaborative filtering, and content-based techniques to generate personalized rankings or suggestions in real time. Recommender engines matter because they drive engagement, conversion, and retention in digital products by tailoring experiences to individual preferences at scale.
