Concept

A personalized recommendation system based on open-domain chat dialogues

Objective

To offer highly personalized recommendations for various services and products by analyzing customers’ open-domain chat dialogues.

Solution

Utilizing the SumRec framework to summarize chat dialogues and then generate personalized recommendations based on the summarized speaker information and item characteristics.

Revenue Model

Subscription fees for businesses, commission on sales generated through recommendations, and premium accounts for users for enhanced personalization.

Target Market

E-commerce platforms, streaming services, content providers, and customer service departments across various industries.

Expansion Plan

Start with e-commerce and streaming services, then expand to other sectors like travel, education, and healthcare, adapting the recommendation engine to sector-specific needs.

Potential Challenges

Protecting user privacy and securing chat data, scaling the system for large volumes of data, improving accuracy in diverse languages and dialects.

Customer Problem

Difficulty in finding personalized recommendations due to the generic nature of current systems, leading to information overload and dissatisfaction.

Regulatory and Ethical Issues

Ensuring compliance with data protection regulations (like GDPR), transparent consent from users for data use, and mechanisms for users to opt-out or control what data is used.

Disruptiveness

Challenges the status quo by moving beyond traditional recommendation systems that rely on explicit user inputs or browsing history, providing deeper personalization through natural conversations.
