A RAG product recommender for ecommerce retrieves from a private product knowledge base and ranks items with live shopper signals—improving discovery beyond static bestsellers. VisionsCraft shipped this pattern as a production Private RAG Product Recommender.
Why ecommerce needs RAG ranking
Rule-based “popular” rails ignore intent and inventory nuance. Retrieval over product text, attributes, and policies lets ranking explain why an item surfaced—critical for merchandisers.
What we implemented
LangChain/LangGraph pipelines, vector search over the client catalog, session behavior fused into retrieval, and storefront integration. Details: RAG case study.
FAQ
What is a RAG product recommender?
A recommender that retrieves from product documents and policies, then ranks results—optionally with live behavior—so suggestions stay grounded in the merchant's catalog.
Why keep retrieval private?
Private indexes keep competitive catalog data and merchandising rules inside the client's boundary instead of shared public corpora.
