Architecture and integration overview

LIM's current architecture combines Nosto Semantic Search with the Core Recommendation Pipeline — Predictive, Semantic, and Visual AI, plus LLMs — to generate responses in real time. The system is horizontally scalable, built to serve high-volume traffic without degradation. LIM also respects all consent and privacy settings configured at the merchant level in Nosto.

Integration options

LIM can be integrated in two ways, depending on your system's architecture:

• REST API — suited to direct backend or service-based integrations

• MCP (Model Context Protocol) — recommended for agent-native and LLM-driven systems

Both expose the same core capabilities and return equivalent outputs.
