TIP

(Adobe Commerce only) Product Recommendations powered by Adobe Sensei simplifies the process of defining product relationships by using artificial intelligence and machine-learning algorithms to perform a deep analysis of aggregated visitor data. This data, when combined with your Adobe Commerce catalog, results in highly engaging, relevant, and personalized experiences for the shopper.

For more information about using this Adobe-developed extension as an alternative to manually configured product recommendations and up-sells, see the Product Recommendations Guide.
