Introducing AI Picks: Your Personal Movie & TV Recommender

April 22, 20261 min readReelRifter Team

Finding something good to watch shouldn't feel like a second job. You've been there — scrolling through Netflix for 20 minutes, watching three trailers, and ending up rewatching something you've already seen. We built AI Picks to fix exactly that.

How it works

AI Picks combines two things most recommendation engines ignore: your actual watch history and how you're feeling right now. You tell us your mood — Relaxing, Exciting, Funny, Mind-bending — and optionally narrow it down by genre or which streaming services you actually have. Then Claude, Anthropic's AI, looks at your watchlist and generates five tailored recommendations with a personal explanation for each.

The key difference from algorithmic recommendations: we tell you why. Every result includes a mood match explanation — not just "you might like this" but "this matches your love of slow-burn crime drama with morally complex leads."

Content rating filter

AI Picks also respects your content preferences. If you're browsing with family or just prefer lighter content, the optional rating filter (G through R/TV-MA) makes sure every recommendation fits.

Available on Pro

AI Picks is available on the Pro and Family plans. Head to AI Picks in the navigation to try it — pick a mood and see what comes back. We think you'll find something worth watching tonight.
