Introduction to What Should I Watch?

What Should I Watch? (CineMatch) is a conversational assistant designed to offer tailored movie and TV show recommendations based on the user's tastes, mood, and context. It is powered by AI and takes into account the user's preferences, viewing history, and current desires to provide quick, personalized suggestions. The core idea is to eliminate the overwhelming process of decision-making when choosing content to watch, helping users discover enjoyable, relevant options without the hassle of endless browsing. For example, if someone says, 'I want a horror movie for tonight, something psychological and intense, but only 90 minutes long,' CineMatch can narrow down recommendations by factoring in the user’s favorite genres, preferred runtime, and mood. This ensures that the suggestions are highly personalized.

Main Functions of What Should I Watch?

  • Personalized Recommendations

    Example

    A user prefers psychological thrillers and enjoys films by directors like David Fincher. They also want something lighthearted for a short viewing window.

    Scenario

    The assistant takes the user’s preferences—love for psychological thrillers, specific director, and short duration—and recommends films like 'Zodiac' or 'The Game,' even suggesting shorter TV shows like 'Black Mirror' to align with their mood and time constraints.

  • Real-time Streaming Availability

    Example

    A user wants to watch a movie right now, but is unsure where it’s available for streaming.

    Scenario

    CineMatch searches real-time streaming platforms to provide the user with up-to-date information on where the recommended content is available. For instance, if the user asks for 'The Matrix,' CineMatch would tell them whether it's available on Netflix, HBO Max, Amazon Prime, or for rent via Google Play or Apple TV.

  • Contextual Filtering Based on Mood or Setting

    Example

    A group of friends is looking for something to watch during a casual hangout. They want it to be funny, easy to watch, and around 90 minutes long.

    Scenario

    CineMatch suggests movies like '21 Jump Street' or 'The Hangover,' understanding the need for comedy, light viewing, and a social setting, while factoring in the preferred runtime. It might even suggest TV shows like 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' if the friends are looking for episodic content that doesn’t require long-term commitment.

Ideal Users of What Should I Watch?

  • Group Viewers (Friends, Family, Partners)

    When multiple people are watching together, it can be tough to find something that everyone will enjoy. CineMatch can quickly filter through preferences to suggest movies or shows that match everyone's mood, genre interests, and length requirements. This makes group decision-making easier and quicker, ensuring no one gets stuck with a bad pick.
