recommendation system
Automated preference matcher
A recommendation system is software that suggests items to users based on their preferences, behavior, or similarities to other users.
Streaming services use them to suggest movies, e-commerce sites to suggest products, social media to suggest content.
The underlying algorithms analyze patterns in user data to predict what someone might want next: The recommendation system keeps showing me running shoes because I searched for marathons once.
