Quorev
Technical overview

Recommendation infrastructure, not just a chatbot bolted onto a storefront.

Quorev is an LLM-powered product recommendation engine for e-commerce. This page is the detailed version of what we're building, how, and what's next.

The problem

Most e-commerce recommendation systems are collaborative-filtering or rules-based: "customers who bought X also bought Y." They work on volume but can't handle a real sentence like "something warm for a rainy camping trip, not too bulky" — and when they get a recommendation wrong, nobody can say why. Lean commerce teams without an ML org are stuck choosing between generic bundled recommenders or building this themselves.

Our approach

Three stages, each handled by a distinct, inspectable component rather than one opaque model call:

01 / understand

Intent parsing

An LLM converts a free-text query, order history, or support transcript into structured constraints: category, budget, occasion, must-have/must-avoid attributes.

02 / reason

Grounded retrieval

Embeddings-based retrieval (RAG) over the merchant's actual product catalog and inventory — so results are things that exist and can ship, not plausible-sounding hallucinations.

03 / explain

Reasoning trace

Every ranked result carries the constraints that produced it, so both the shopper and the merchant's team can see and audit why it was picked.
