How Streamie Recommends the Perfect Movie or TV Show

How does Streamie know what I should watch?

By asking a few important questions, Streamie learns what you want to watch, and uses your answers to communicate your interests with the tv show & movie recommendation AI. The entire “what movie or tv show should I watch” quiz should take just 60 seconds to get a list of suggestions for what you should watch.

Streamie's 5-Step Process for the Best TV Show & Movie Recommendations

Question 1: What do you want to watch? A TV Show, Movie, or Documentary?

This will help the AI begin the search for what you should watch. If you want to watch a sci-fi TV show, an exciting Star Wars movie, or a good sports documentary, this is where you indicate the basic type of content you’d like to see.

Question 2: What genre(s) are you interested in watching right now?

Choose from a wide range of genres, such as comedy shows, best sci-fi movies, or war movies. You can also combine genres for unique recommendations like an action-comedy movie or a sci-fi drama TV show.  Choose carefully, because this will determine the movies or TV shows shown to you on the Similar Titles page (see Question 4 below).

Question 3: Describe your ideal show or movie with an adjective

This is an optional question to answer, but it can really help the Streamie movie recommendation algorithm narrow down the suggestions to accurately fit the vibe that you’re going for. You can choose from the options presented, or type in any adjective you want. If you want the movie to be about a specific topic that isn’t listed, like World War II, you can type ‘World War 2’ movies in the search box and add it yourself.

Question 4: What are some shows and movies that are similar to what you want to watch?

Perhaps the most important step in the process; this part lets you select from popular and underrated movies and tv shows within the genre(s) that you selected. The titles you select here should not necessarily be your favorite movies or tv shows you’ve watched, but rather, something with a similar vibe to what you want to watch.

Question 5: Select your streaming services

Finally, to ensure that you can actually watch the TV shows and movies recommended to you, you’ll be asked what streaming services that you have access to. Streamie can recommend TV shows and movies on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+ (perfect for Star Wars movies!), Apple TV+, Hulu, Paramount+, Peacock, STARZ, Tubi, and Pluto TV.
