You rate movies you've seen and it predicts which other movies you'll like. The execution is really good: for example, it's aware of popularity, so you can look at movies that others are likely to rate low, but you high, or the opposite. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Movie recommendations from AI

For all I know, there only exist two other AI movie recommendation sites https://movix.ai and movielens. movix.ai does not seem to work anymore - you never get your recommendations, and with movielens you have to create a user, add 10 movies, and wait more than a day to get your recommendations.
