Seeking Typesense Recommendations API for E-commerce Store

TLDR David inquired about a recommendations API for Typesense. Jason suggested utilizing vector search in an early preview build for nearest neighbor search but requires user's own machine learning pipeline.

We have vector search in early preview in an RC build using which you can do nearest neighbor search. You can implement recommendations on top of this, but you will have to use your own machine learning pipeline to create embeddings and store the output of those in Typesense
