The only recommendation engine built for premium cigar retail. One-time purchase. No subscriptions. No API fees.
Most cigar buyers rely on staff knowledge. When that staff member isn't there, sales drop.
Curato finds the four most similar cigars based on wrapper, strength, body, flavor, and price. Each comes with a plain-language explanation of why it's a match.
Every recommendation set includes a "something different" pick that shares key attributes but introduces new territory. Expands palates, drives discovery.
First-time buyers answer 4 simple questions (flavor, strength, occasion, budget) and get personalized starter recommendations with beginner-friendly explanations.
Content-based filtering on structured product attributes. No purchase history required — works from day one with your catalog.
Embedded quality monitor validates every data point, auto-corrects obvious errors, quarantines bad data, and keeps your catalog accurate without manual intervention.
Logs customer selections and builds a co-purchase map over time. Weekly re-ranking job adjusts recommendation weights based on real behavior.
Your logo, your colors. Embeddable web widget with CSS custom properties. Matches any storefront.
Progressive Web App with offline support, touch-optimized UI, idle screen, and orientation-aware layout. Perfect for lounge countertops and casino humidors.
Version notifications, changelog delivery, and catalog health digests. Stay current without any manual checking. One-way — no data leaves your system.
This is a live Curato widget running on a sample cigar catalog.
No subscriptions. No per-query fees. No ongoing costs to you or your customers.
Curato uses Google's Gemini AI to process your cigar catalog into structured data. You get a free API key at aistudio.google.com — it takes 30 seconds. The free tier covers everything Curato needs, even for 2,000+ SKU catalogs. The key is yours permanently and costs nothing.
Most retailers are up and running in under an hour. Get your Gemini key (30 seconds), upload your catalog CSV, click Process, configure your colors, and embed. The included setup guide walks through every step.
Curato handles catalogs of any size. The AI processing runs in batches during setup — a 500-product catalog takes about 5 minutes. Once processed, recommendations are instant (local database, zero API calls).
Yes. The Kiosk and Full Suite tiers include a Progressive Web App with service worker caching. Once your catalog is loaded, the kiosk works without an internet connection.
Curato is a product discovery tool embedded on your existing (already compliant) storefront. It does not create advertisements or make health claims. However, we recommend consulting with your legal counsel regarding tobacco product display regulations in your jurisdiction. A configurable health warning banner is available if needed.
You'll receive an email with a download link within minutes. The ZIP contains everything: the engine, widget files, setup guide, and sample catalog. Install, configure, and go.
Basic comfort with running commands in a terminal (npm install, npm start) is helpful. The setup guide covers everything step by step. If you can copy-paste a script tag into your website, you can embed the widget.
