A real-world example

For each subscriber, which products should we feature in their next email?

Email campaigns feature the same top-selling products for every subscriber. Worse, they frequently recommend out-of-stock items — creating frustration and eroding trust. A subscriber who exclusively buys skincare products receives emails about electronics. Open rates hold at 18-22% but click-through rates languish at 2-3%. For a retailer sending 100M emails per month, each 0.1% improvement in click-through is worth $1.5-3M annually.

How KumoRFM solves this

Relational intelligence for true personalization

Kumo predicts which in-stock products each subscriber will purchase, using a filtered recommendation query that automatically excludes out-of-stock items. The model learns from the subscriber-purchase-product graph — capturing that Subscriber S001 buys premium skincare every 45 days and is due for replenishment, while similar subscribers in their graph neighborhood have been converting on a newly launched serum. Every email becomes a personalized storefront.
