FAQs

How quickly can I integrate Shaped into my system?

Shaped offers a unified, AI-native platform optimized for real-time, highly customizable search and recommendation systems, seamlessly integrating with data warehouses and utilizing transformer models and continuous learning loops.

Yes, Shaped supports a wide range of ranking scenarios. Many clients deploy dozens of models, and adding new ones is straightforward once your data is connected.
What is the minimum data requirement?
There’s no minimum. The only essential data are user interactions such as clicks, views, or impressions.
Why choose Shaped over building in-house solutions?
Building in-house requires significant investment in skilled engineers, long development times, and ongoing maintenance. Shaped offers a scalable, cost-effective alternative that accelerates deployment.

Designed with security as a priority, Shaped operates as a SaaS platform. It only accesses your data for training, discards most data afterward, and only retains non-identifiable features needed for inference, with no persistent storage of customer data.
