Recommended for you displays catalog items and knowledge articles, enabling you to view
information that is most relevant to you.

## Content recommendations {#rfy-ec__section_cgc_r4r_qtb}

This widget highlights the most relevant catalog items and knowledge articles for the employee:

* The Recommended for you widget can use an ML algorithm-based on Employee Profile or HR Profile to show popular content accessed by users having similar profile.
* Recommended items are populated either based on ML or popularity of items based on your license entitlements. Underlying table for calculating similar user is determined by Employee Profile or HR profile.  
  Note:  
  When you install Employee Profile, the recommendations are populated based on the Employee Profile table.
* The visual representation of items has a detailed card view with title, description, image, and a simple list view of only titles.
* Employees can view related articles and catalog items on the portal home page and on ServiceNow mobile page.
* By default, the top five recommendations are visible on the widget. The widget provides users with a preview of a knowledge article with the title, description, and other useful information. Similarly, the catalog items show the description and the price of the product, if any.
