Discover themed content

Most digital platforms control what content you see through centralized recommendation systems that collect and analyze your data. Wise offers a different approach - you choose and run recommendation algorithms directly on your device, keeping your reading preferences and interactions completely private while still enjoying personalized content discovery.

How self-hosted recommendation works

Content recommendation in Wise happens in two distinct stages:

1. Content providers collect and package global content in the cloud.
2. Your Olares device downloads this content and processes it locally using your chosen recommendation algorithms.

Since every device receives the same content data and processes recommendations offline, your reading preferences and interaction data remain completely private. You can monitor these recommendation workflows through a visual interface that shows exactly how your content is being processed.

As you continue to read and bookmark content in Wise, the algorithm learns your preferences and improves its recommendation accuracy over time.

Install a recommendation algorithm

To start receiving personalized content recommendations:

1. In Market, browse the Recommendation category for a topic that interests you.

2. Click Get to install your chosen algorithm.

3. Allow some time for the algorithm to complete its local recommendation workflow.

   

Once installed, find your recommended content on the For you page in Wise. This page displays results from all your installed recommendation algorithms, with separate content feeds for each. Switch between different algorithms by clicking the recommendation title at the top.

TIP

You can subscribe to a feed to read all content from that source in the future.

Monitor algorithm workflow

To track how your recommendation engine processes data and generates suggestions:

1. In Wise, go to the page Manage > Recommendations.
2. Click any specific workflow to view its operation records.
3. Click a record to see detailed information and logs.

The workflow visualization shows each step of the recommendation process. You can examine step summaries, container settings, and operation logs for complete transparency.

Remove a recommendation algorithm

To uninstall a recommendation algorithm:

1. In Market, go to the page My Olares.
2. Click keyboard_arrow_down next to the application's operation button, and select Uninstall.

FAQ

Why can't I see recommended content after installation?

If you've just installed a recommendation algorithm, you'll need to wait briefly while it completes the local recommendation workflow on your Olares. This ensures all processing happens locally to protect your privacy.
