As of early 2026, AI-powered product recommendations work by analysing customer data – browsing history, purchase patterns, demographics, and even real-time behaviour – to predict what each individual is most likely to buy next. This is achieved through sophisticated machine learning algorithms that identify correlations and patterns invisible to traditional methods.
- Predictive Analytics: Current systems include advanced algorithms that forecast future purchases based on past actions.
- Collaborative Filtering: AI identifies customers with similar tastes and recommends items purchased by those users.
- Content-Based Filtering: Recommendations are made based on the attributes of products a customer has previously shown interest in.
- Real-Time Personalisation: Now features the ability to adjust recommendations *during* a browsing session, based on what the customer is currently viewing.
In 2026, Australian businesses must also consider the Privacy Act and evolving data handling regulations when implementing these systems. ROI.com.au ensures all our AI-driven recommendation engines are fully compliant with Australian privacy standards, including obtaining appropriate consent and anonymising data where necessary. We also integrate seamlessly with popular Australian e-commerce platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce, and local payment gateways.
Instead of navigating the complexities of AI implementation, data privacy, and platform integration, let ROI.com.au handle the technical details. We can take care of all this for you.
