More Reliable Chat Recommendations

We’ve just made Clerk.io’s Chat’s product recommendations smarter and more consistent.
As of October 2025, Chat now uses the same recommendation logic as your core Clerk.io Recommendations — completing the work that aligned Chat Search with core Search.
That means shoppers now get the same high-quality suggestions whether they browse your site or ask Chat for product recommendations or alternatives.
What’s new
Same recommendation engine, everywhere
When a shopper asks Chat for similar or complementary products, it now shows a Recommendations slider powered by the exact same filters, boosts, and exclusions as your main Clerk.io Recommendations.
Smarter fallback
If a recommendation can’t be fetched — for example, no good matches or a temporary error — Chat now suggests the most relevant categories instead.
This keeps conversations flowing and helps shoppers stay in discovery mode.
Fully aligned with Chat Search
After last week’s Chat Search update, this completes the alignment between Chat and your core engines for both Search and Recommendations.
Why it matters
- Consistent experience — Shoppers see the same logic and merchandising everywhere.
- Less maintenance — Your existing Recommendations settings apply automatically in Chat.
- Smarter conversations — Recommendations stay relevant and on-brand.
- No dead ends — Category fallback keeps the journey going.
