## How Recommendations Work in Experro

Experro’s AI-powered engine (Eywa) combines **real-time user behavior**, **intent understanding**, and **affinity patterns** to generate precise product suggestions. Merchants can fine-tune these outputs through rules and merchandising controls, ensuring alignment with business goals.
