Anticipating and capturing transient demand spikes is a critical challenge for e-commerce platforms, as reactive discovery mechanisms often fail to surface relevant products during rapid cultural or seasonal shifts. We propose TrendPulse, a three-stage framework that identifies regional search momentum, leverages Large Language Model (LLM) to transform spikes into semantic trends, and employs a cross-attention mechanism to provide personalized catalog recommendations. Our comprehensive ablation experiments and evaluations validate the impact of each architectural component, showing consistent improvements across multiple critical business metrics. TrendPulse’s effectiveness is further validated through online A/B experiments, where it drives measurable gains in both business metrics and overall user experience. Finally, we outlined the deployment strategy in detail, providing a reproducible blueprint that can be readily applied to similar industry-scale applications.
