Glood’s Personalized For You: Individual Customer Intelligence

​

Algorithm Overview

​

Core AI Technologies

​

1. Deep User Profiling

​

Behavioral Embedding

• Purchase History: What, when, and how often they buy
• Browse Patterns: Categories explored, time spent, depth of exploration
• Interaction Signals: Clicks, adds to cart, wishlist saves
• Temporal Patterns: Shopping frequency, seasonal preferences

# Conceptual user embedding
user_embedding = concatenate([
    purchase_encoder(purchase_history),
    browse_encoder(session_data),
    temporal_encoder(time_patterns),
    preference_encoder(explicit_signals)
])

​

2. OpenAI GPT-4: Intent & Context Understanding

​

Shopping Intent Detection

• Browsing vs Buying: Distinguishes research from purchase intent
• Gift Shopping: Identifies when users shop for others
• Occasion Detection: Recognizes event-driven shopping (holidays, birthdays)
• Need Urgency: Understands immediate vs future purchase plans

​

Natural Language Signals

• Search query understanding
• Review sentiment analysis
• Support conversation context
• Email engagement patterns

​

Persona Development

• “Tech Early Adopter”
• “Value-Conscious Family Shopper”
• “Luxury Fashion Enthusiast”
• “Sustainable Living Advocate”

​

3. Google Gemini: Visual Preference Learning

​

Style Profiling

• Color Preferences: Tracks color choices across purchases
• Design Aesthetics: Modern, vintage, minimalist, maximalist
• Pattern Affinity: Stripes, florals, geometric, solid
• Brand Visual Language: Preference for certain visual identities

​

Visual Behavior Analysis

visual_preference = gemini.analyze({
    'viewed_products': product_images,
    'purchased_products': purchase_images,
    'engagement_time': image_interaction_time,
    'zoom_behavior': detailed_view_patterns
})

​

4. Glood Proprietary Models: Predictive Personalization

​

Sequential Pattern Mining

• LSTM Networks: Capture long-term dependencies
• Attention Mechanisms: Focus on relevant history
• Temporal Convolutions: Identify seasonal patterns

​

Collaborative Filtering Enhanced

• Neural Collaborative Filtering: Deep learning on user-item interactions
• Graph Neural Networks: Leverage user-product-category relationships
• Matrix Factorization++: Advanced latent factor models

​

Multi-Model Fusion Strategy

​

Ensemble Architecture

​

Dynamic Weight Adjustment

• Data Availability: More history increases Glood model weight
• Product Type: Visual products increase Gemini weight
• User Segment: New users rely more on GPT-4 understanding
• Context: Mobile vs desktop, time of day, location

​

Advanced Personalization Techniques

​

1. Real-time Session Personalization

• Interest Drift Detection: Recognizes when users explore new categories
• Micro-intent Modeling: Updates recommendations after each click
• Attention Decay: Recent actions weighted higher than older ones

​

2. Cross-Device Personalization

• Device Preference Learning: Different behaviors on mobile vs desktop
• Context Switching: Work computer vs home browsing
• Session Continuation: Picks up where user left off

​

3. Temporal Dynamics

• Seasonal Adjustments: Summer clothes in spring, holiday items in November
• Purchase Cycles: Predicts when consumables need replenishment
• Life Event Detection: Identifies major life changes affecting preferences

​

4. Exploration vs Exploitation

recommendations = (
    exploitation_weight * known_preferences +
    exploration_weight * diverse_discoveries
)

​

​

Privacy-Preserving Personalization

​

Data Protection Measures

• Differential Privacy: Adding noise to protect individual data
• Federated Learning: Models trained without centralizing data
• Encryption: All personal data encrypted at rest and in transit
• Anonymization: Behavioral patterns separated from PII

​

User Control

• Opt-out capabilities
• Recommendation transparency
• Data deletion rights
• Preference management
