Summary

  • AI powered search features are being tested by Netflix to improve the user experience and enhance content recommendations.
  • Currently, Netflix users rely on specific keywords and secret codes to find content, which are limiting.
  • The new search feature, provided by OpenAI, will offer far more specific search terms, including mood and feelings, to recommend content.
  • The test is limited to Netflix subscribers in Australia and New Zealand on iOS devices, but will expand to the US in the coming weeks and months.
  • It is hoped that AI will bridge the gap between what viewers are looking for and what is in Netflix’s vast catalogue.
  • This should increase user satisfaction and limit the frustration of endless scrolling.
