AI service for page suggestions

Arbetsformedlingen.se uses the service rek.ai to collect anonymous statistics in order to allow us to suggest pages to our visitors.

The anonymous statistics we have access to are time, pages visited, logged in or logged out and information from the web browser.

We are testing rek.ai on arbetsformedlingen.se in the Job Bank (Platsbanken) where a job search for a specific location can offer suggestions for similar locations to add to the search.
