Netflix confirmed rumors a few weeks ago that a ChatGPT-like AI tool was in testing and would soon be available to help subscribers find what they really want to watch. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini let you use conversational language to interact via text and voice prompts. These programs are already changing how we use computers, so it was only a matter of time before the tech showed up in entertainment apps like Netflix.
Being able to describe in plain language what you want to watch, without needing to remember the name of a movie, show, or actor, and without endless scrolling, might be the kind of feature every streamer needs to help you start watching faster.
Turns out Netflix is doing more than just adding ChatGPT-like AI to its apps to improve content discovery. The company gave Netflix a big UI redesign on TVs, which should roll out to your devices soon. You'll see new menus at the top of the TV app, fewer title cards, and larger tiles for the content in focus.
Combine that with Netflix's recommendation algorithms, and finding something to watch could be quicker than ever.
The OpenAI ChatGPT tech built into the Netflix app isn't coming to your TV. And it really doesn't belong there. Typing search queries in conversational language on a TV sounds like a nightmare. Instead, the OpenAI tech is coming to the mobile app, where you'll talk to a ChatGPT-like model to find a great show or movie.
