RecAI is a Microsoft research project exploring ways to integrate large language models into recommender systems (LLM4Rec). It includes a conversational recommender AI agent, selective knowledge plugins via prompting, and LLM-based model explainers.

Use cases

• build a conversational recommender system on top of an existing recommendation model
• make matrix factorization recommenders interactive and explainable with an LLM agent
• inject domain knowledge into an LLM via personalized prompting without fine-tuning
• fine-tune a language model to act as a recommender
• evaluate LLM-based recommendation quality
• use an LLM to explain recommendations from a traditional model

When to choose

• you want to add LLM-driven interactivity or explainability to an existing recommender system
• you are researching LLM4Rec techniques like agents, prompting, or fine-tuning for recommendations
• you want a reference implementation of a recommender AI agent that calls traditional models as tools

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready, turnkey recommender system without LLM integration
• you want a lightweight library with a stable API rather than research code and notebooks
• your project has no need for conversational or explainable recommendation
