Kick-off Kumo in Snowflake with Smarter Product Recommendations via Snowflake Solution Center

Improve average order size with targeted product recommendations

by Zach Drach

In today’s digital landscape, where information overload and choice paralysis are the norm, recommendation systems are pivotal in guiding users toward the most relevant content. These systems provide a more personalized customer experience, improving consumer happiness and your bottom line. 

Used by retailers, media, entertainment, advertisers, and more – Kumo powered recommendation systems are relied upon by leading organizations to drive key KPIs like average order size, sales, and even monthly active users. Kumo now offers its recommendation solution to interested customers directly via the Snowflake Solution Center and our Snowflake Native App, bringing the powerful predictive platform directly into the Snowflake environment.

Why Kumo in Snowflake

Kumo saves time during predictive model development because it eliminates the complex process of rebuilding the end-to-end pipeline to suit each new query. Kumo helps data scientists make highly accurate predictions about user and customer behavior by combining graph learning over structured data and generative AI models trained for unstructured data – all entirely within Snowflake. 

Named Forbes AI 50 in 2024, Kumo’s predictive AI learns across multiple Snowflake tables, to build accurate predictive models in hours – not months. The out of the box machine learning models can be refined for maximum performance and predictions can be delivered in batches or as embeddings for use downstream.  Use a low-code interface to simplify MLOps, combine graph learning and LLMs, and use Kumo to accurately predict the right products, actions, and offers for each person to drive improvements to KPIs like conversion, engagement, and retention.
