@rrhoover Hah! Saw them on Product Hunt a couple weeks ago threw one or two YouTube parties. Great product (and great URL too ;) )
Hope you get a chance to give our version a shot! :)
@rrhoover Ahhh, this explains why we keep getting messages on our Facebook page asking what movie to watch. Very cool product, and now we know where to send them ;)
@martinsfp Cheers Martin! We agree with you :) Movie recs through conversational UI has so many advantages. We get to hear directly from you about what you're looking for, in your own words. It gives us an edge in personalizing for everyone!
Thanks @nbashaw for the Hunt!
We built And Chill to give you movie recommendations that beat your expectations. We wanted to go deeper about the reasons why you like movies and allow you to really express those reasons to us. And we wanted you to have fun! :)
So we designed an experience that we think requires just a small amount of effort, with the results being as relevant as it would be if you were getting a recommendation from a friend. By sending us a few messages per pick, here’s what we think you’ll see:
- Shorter periods of browsing times, less mindlessly scrolling through Netflix asking ‘What should I watch?’
- Clearer movie matches, where movies are recommended based on exactly what you’re looking for
- An intuitive movie recommendation experience. Say what you want or your movie preferences just as you’d like to say it. Get back a couple ultra-tailored picks
Very happy to answer any questions from the community :) Please ask!
@leftearpod congrats Jake! And Chill looks great. Checking out the Facebook bot now. We'll see how it goes *fingers crossed*
How long have you been at this and what's your favorite movie on Netflix?
@joshmuccio Thanks Josh! We've been working on this for several months now. Most recently we've been putting a lot of effort into Facebook Messenger, especially with how much they're emphasizing bots now!
Favorite movie right now on Netflix is Into The Wild. It's just really interesting to me despite some saying that it's pretty sparse. It's motivational, but there are some ethics (good/bad) in there that have driven some great discussion with people!
This is incredible, thank you for making this! Within minutes, I already got two solid recommendations of movies that I haven't already seen. A lot more than I can say for my own abilities. I've already delegated all my future film decisions to &Chill 💌
@ow Glad to hear that Owen. We've been frustrated with it for a while now, especially how time consuming it is. There was one study done by Rovi that said we spend 115+ hours just looking for what to watch :O (http://exstreamist.com/report-we...)
💯 And Chill is THE MUST HAVE bot for anyone who love to watch movies!
This bot is simply amazing! Discovering new and interesting movies based on current mood makes the experience so much more enjoyable.
Tested it out and it is so easy to use – super well done Jake, really like it! 👍
Gonna recommend it to local movies community I belong to also.
Any future plans to even extend it beyond Netflix and if yes what could we expect next? 😉
@akacoxy Awesome Kristo :). Thanks so much!
Yes, we're going to become more well versed with other on-demand streaming platforms! From there, who knows! Getting movie recs right is going to take much, much more dedication! It's a very complex thing to tackle so we will be studying it for a while!
