Maximize business results with real-time learning

Give customers relevant experiences that improve over time based on their behavior. Improve click-through on home pages, create personalized channels, or optimize coupon offers and terms. Let AI discover what maximizes results to stay on top of changing trends. Unlike recommendation engines that offer a few options from a large catalog, Personalizer presents the single best outcome for a user every time they interact with your app.

Get up and running quickly

Embed Personalizer by adding two lines of code. Easily inspect the accuracy of predictions and optimize as needed. Personalizer works with your data in any form. Start with no data or tap into an existing dataset to jump-start reinforcement learning. After it's embedded, Personalizer can skip the learning curve. When you turn on apprentice mode, the service learns alongside your existing solution without being exposed to users until it meets your performance threshold.

Easily gauge how it's working

Interpret and evaluate Personalizer through the interface. Validate results by reproducing them, and gauge effectiveness of parameters with a stack-ranked view. For example, evaluate the impact of age, gender, and time of day on content engagement.

Frequently asked questions about Computer Vision

  • See availability by region.

  • Personalizer and other Cognitive Services offerings guarantee 99.9-percent availability. No SLA is provided for the Free pricing tier. See the SLA details.

  • Personalizer learns from the collective behavior of users, through the features or attributes about them that you send to the service. It uses this information to train a shared model that’s updated with information from every interaction, improving personalization outcomes for all users.

  • Personalizer works best when a rank call has 50 or fewer items. To personalize a choice from a larger list or catalog, reduce the number of items by using a recommendation engine or sorting technique.

    Learn more about scalability and performance

  • Our algorithms and innovation are based on continuous work by Microsoft Research and on applied use of Personalizer in Microsoft businesses such as Xbox and Windows. Learn more about our approaches and reinforcement learning.

  • Personalizer works with or without user sign-in but delivers richer, more relevant interactions for signed-in users.

  • Yes. Personalizer learns in the background, in real time, via apprentice mode. When the service has learned enough from users' actions to approximate your existing personalization system, you can use Personalizer in production with confidence to let it learn by interacting with your users and support a positive user experience.
