This Netflix Recommendation Bot Is Surprisingly Accurate If You’re Specific.

Chatbots are all the rage, and the spectrum ranges from useless to really fun. And Chill falls into an interesting category. Just send him a message on Facebook Messenger and ask him what to watch on Netflix. This mixes briefly and can give surprisingly good results if you have a clear understanding of what you want.

And Chill only works through Facebook messenger (or you can send him a message via Facebook Messenger on the net), but once you do, you can either name the movie you liked or you can tell And Chill what you want to watch. … The key point here is that you have to be specific. A chatbot can understand a lot, but you definitely need to be able to explain what you are looking for. When I asked for “upbeat science fiction that is still fun to watch,” he asked me for examples and then still spat out Solaris and Serenity , but that might say more about Netflix’s catalog than And Chill’s search skills.

However, if you’re a little more specific (or looking for more popular movie types), there are some great suggestions you can make. For example, The Next Web asked for “an annoying protagonist, tons of nudity and really bad acting” and announced “Burying the Ex” and ” Shine” which … fit that description perfectly. Try the bot or find out more about it at the link below.
