Your Data. Our Models.
Real-Time Results.
PersonalizerAI builds a dedicated AI pipeline for each merchant. Here's what goes in and what comes out.
Product Catalog
Titles, descriptions, tags, variants, attributes, images, pricing
Order History
Purchase patterns, frequency, seasonality, basket composition
Browsing Behavior
Real-time clickstreams, session paths, dwell time, scroll depth
Search & Cart
Search query logs, cart interactions, purchase outcomes
What Happens to It
All merchant data is continuously normalized, vectorized, and enriched with Google and Anthropic's models. We then build merchant-specific embeddings, extract semantic relationships, and analyze behavioral patterns across performance signals. This enriched data feeds into PersonalizerAI's proprietary recommendation and ranking engines.
How Models Stay Sharp
Models are retrained periodically based on each model's unique data and training requirements. Some models update in real time (like Personalized For You, which adapts per session). Others retrain on a schedule as new order and behavior data accumulates. The result: recommendations and search results that get more accurate over time, not stale.
Common Questions Before You Start
How quickly will I see results?
PersonalizerAI is live within 30 minutes. Basic models (Bestsellers, Trending, Recently Viewed) work immediately with your existing catalog data. Personalization and behavioral models start learning from day one and improve with every visitor interaction. Most merchants see measurable AOV lift within the first week. Proven results within the first month.
What if I don't have much order history?
Different models have different data requirements. Catalog-based models (Similar Items, Complete the Look, New Arrivals) work from day one because they analyze your product data, not purchase history. Behavioral models (Frequently Bought Together, Smart Mix) get smarter as order and browsing data accumulates. There's no minimum to get started — PersonalizerAI automatically activates the best-performing models for your current data maturity.
I'm switching from another app. Is migration painful?
We handle migration from other search apps and recommendation apps. Widget placements, display preferences, and positioning are configured during onboarding so your customers see a seamless transition. No downtime, no broken pages, no starting from scratch.
What about my site speed?
PersonalizerAI loads asynchronously with zero render blocking. Your Core Web Vitals stay clean. We'd never sacrifice your store's speed to serve recommendations.
How is attribution measured?
Click-only attribution. PersonalizerAI only counts revenue from direct widget clicks and AI Search interactions that lead to a purchase. No view-through inflation. Dashboard shows exactly which widget drove which sale. Verify independently in Shopify analytics.
