Recommendation engines power the modern digital world. From e-commerce product suggestions to content feeds, personalized recommendations significantly boost engagement, conversions, and retention. However, building these systems—even at MVP level—requires thoughtful data modeling, machine learning pipelines, and a lightweight but effective ranking strategy.
PySquad builds AI recommendation engine MVPs using Django for data ingestion and model operations, and Next.js for fast delivery of personalized experiences. We help founders integrate recommendation logic early so they can validate improvements in user engagement and revenue.
