The Problem
Picking a movie shouldn't take longer than watching one. Streaming platforms optimize for engagement, not for helping you find something you'll actually enjoy. You end up scrolling for 30 minutes and settling.
The Solution
The Usher is a movie discovery app with an AI-powered conversational expert. Tell it what you're in the mood for, and it recommends films based on taste, mood, and streaming availability — no algorithm, no endless browsing.
How AI Is Used
The "Ask the Usher" feature uses Claude as a conversational movie expert that considers your preferences, mood, and viewing history to make tailored recommendations. It pulls real-time data from TMDB and OMDB for ratings and streaming availability.
Tech Stack
A web and mobile stack connected to movie databases and Claude for conversational recommendations.
