Beyond Personalization: The Next Chapter of AI Recommendations

This year’s RecSys Conference once again showed why continuous research matters. Experts from academia and industry came together to explore how recommender systems can become more adaptive, transparent, and human-centered.

One quote captured it perfectly:

“While LLMs push vast world knowledge, they lack deep, continuous knowledge of the user.”
— Xavier Amatriain, VP AI Products at Google

Even in the age of GenAI, personalization remains an open challenge. Large language models know everything—except the individual behind the screen.

Rethinking Personalization

At vviinn, we couldn’t agree more. True innovation in AI recommendations means looking beyond static personalization.
It’s about understanding why users act, interpreting real-time signals, and reading context as part of a dynamic system.

We design recommender systems as living ecosystems where content, behavior, and context continuously interact to surface what’s genuinely relevant.

The Power of Intent

Every search, click, or image a user provides carries intent.
By decoding that intent, we create experiences that feel intuitive, adaptive, and truly helpful.

At vviinn, we believe user intent is the strongest signal merchants can use to turn discovery into connection and connection into conversion.

From Research to Real Impact

Since 2018, our team has combined academic research with real-world applications in AI Search and Recommender Systems. We’ve learned that intelligence alone isn’t enough. The most effective systems are built with empathy for how people think, search, and decide.

Conclusion

Leaving RecSys 2025, we felt both inspired and energized. The journey toward truly intelligent, intent-driven recommendations has only just begun—and we’re proud to help shape what comes next.
