What AI model powers the Recommendation Engine?
Anthropic Claude, under commercial terms that prohibit training on Vouch customer traffic. See the AI Policy for the full disclosure, including retention limits and human-in-the-loop design.
Feature — AI Recommendation Engine
AI Recommendation Engine
Vouch's AI reads every review and support signal across your locations, surfaces the patterns a busy operator would miss, and turns them into specific, actionable recommendations — from staff coaching to menu or service copy — powered by Anthropic Claude under no-training commercial terms.
What you get
Pattern detection across volume no human reads in full
A ten-location business generates far more review and feedback text than any manager reads end to end. The Recommendation Engine reads all of it and surfaces the recurring themes — a specific staff member mentioned repeatedly, a menu item drawing consistent complaints, a wait-time pattern at one location but not others.
Specific, not generic, suggestions
Recommendations name the pattern and propose a concrete action — not "improve customer service" but "three reviews this month cite slow drink service between 6-8pm at the Concord location."
Human approval by default, auto-apply where you choose
Every recommendation surfaces for human review first. Workspaces can explicitly enable auto-apply for narrowly-scoped, low-risk recommendation classes — the default posture is human-in-the-loop.
Scheduled digest, not a firehose
Recommendations roll up on a schedule so managers get a manageable weekly or monthly digest rather than a constant stream of alerts.
How it works
1
Vouch ingests review and feedback text
Reviews pulled from connected platforms and responses collected through Vouch surveys feed the same analysis pipeline, per location.
2
AI clusters recurring themes
Claude-powered analysis groups similar mentions — staff, product, wait times, cleanliness — and flags patterns that cross a meaningful frequency threshold rather than one-off complaints.
3
Recommendations are drafted with supporting evidence
Each recommendation links back to the specific reviews or feedback that generated it, so a manager can verify the pattern before acting.
4
A human reviews and applies (or auto-apply for approved classes)
Recommendations land in the Vouch inbox for approval. Auto-apply is opt-in and scoped to specific low-risk recommendation types a workspace has explicitly enabled.
FAQ
Does the Recommendation Engine act automatically without approval?
By default, no — every recommendation requires human approval before it's applied. A workspace can explicitly opt a narrow, low-risk recommendation class into auto-apply, but that's a deliberate configuration choice, not the default behavior.
Can the Recommendation Engine identify issues specific to one location?
Yes — pattern detection runs per location as well as across the portfolio, so a manager can see both "this is a company-wide theme" and "this is specific to the Antioch location."
