Believe it or not, almost all of the websites and apps you use today use some kind of recommender system in some way or another.
A recommendation system is a system that tells you what to buy and how to buy it.
Our first stop is to look at Google, YouTube, and Netflix.

The reason Google is the best technology company today is that it has a lot of good ideas.
A video dashboard is called YouTube, and it is on the site.
How do they make you do that?
That’s right, Recommender systems are to blame for this.

Netflix choose which movies to show them.
Netflix is very good at this.
Recommender systems try to figure out what people like and then show them products that might be interesting to them.
