Reflektion

Reflektion is a software company founded by former Google engineer Amar Chokhawala in 2012. Employing machine learning, the company has developed a next-generation personalization platform that raises conversion and revenue for leading digital retailers.[1] The solution, referred to as Individualized Commerce, captures shopper preferences and behavior, and quickly responds to site visitors with the most individually relevant merchandise and site-search results. Chokhawala founded the company after an 11-year stint at Google,[2] where he developed similar user modeling and semantic learning techniques for the Adsense, Gmail and Google Books platforms.
