LLMAR is a tuning‑free recommendation framework designed for sparse, text‑rich industrial B2B domains. It transforms user behavioral history into structured semantic motives using LLM inference, employs a reflection loop to self‑correct hallucinations, and operates cost‑effectively with asynchronous batch processing. Experiments on MovieLens‑1M, Amazon Prime Pantry, and a construction risk dataset show LLMAR surpasses state‑of‑the‑art learning models, achieving up to a 54.6% nDCG@10 improvement while keeping inference costs around $1 per 1,000 users.

Recommendation systems, from traditional multi-stage to recent unified generative architectures, face challenges in incorporating diverse contextual signals, such as trending topics, breaking news, cultural events, and cross-surface user activities, into their ranking pipelines. These systems are designed to consume structured behavioral signals with consistent schemas, and lack the reasoning capability to naturally process unstructured or heterogeneously formatted contextual information.
