Migrate from Classic Personalization

AI Personalization is a beta feature according to Algolia’s Terms of Service (“Beta Services”).

AI Personalization creates a profile for each user based on how they use your website or app.

Benefits

AI Personalization offers several advantages:

• It’s easier to set up. AI Personalization automates and, hence, speeds up the deployment of a personalization strategy.

• It generates unbiased user profiles. Classic Personalization can lead to biased or inconsistent user profiles. By automating the process, AI Personalization helps eliminate these biases.

• It predicts user preferences. AI Personalization can predict what users might like or dislike. This means it can better customize the experience for each user based on their unique tastes.

• It generates more accurate user profiles. AI Personalization generates user profiles based on signals from your users. The stronger the signals, the more accurate it can be in understanding each user.

• It enhances monitoring and testing. You can use the Algolia dashboard to inspect your user profiles, simulate search personalization experiences, or conduct A/B tests.

Considerations

Before choosing to migrate from Classic Personalization to AI Personalization, you need to consider the following:

• AI Personalization deactivates Classic Personalization. You won’t be able to update your Classic Personalization setup. This includes, your strategy, facets, and personalizationImpact.

• Your events and index data are unchanged by the migration.

• User profiles stop personalizing search results. Classic Personalization will stop personalizing search results for already generated user profiles until your AI Personalization setup is complete.

• Migration can be rolled back during beta. To revert to Classic Personalization, contact the Algolia support team. By rolling back the migration, you will lose all changes made in AI Personalization.
