While google can show you results it cannot personalize things for you. With this app you can mark movies as seen and you can ask for "things i haven't seen"

or ask it to "pick a movie for me" from a search result, you can tell it which region / streaming service you have and search within things you can actually watch.

You can't do any of that with google.

There are tons of queries i've tried where google will simply not be able to give me good results.

The goal is to have a TvOS app where you can just search across all your streaming options and with a single click open / stream any movies you find. Instead of having to search 10 different streaming apps to something you want to watch.

In the example you provided I could not see any streaming options for any of the movies or figure out if it's available in my region. I would have to do multiple other search to figure out where I can watch them. I also cannot see ratings etc...

- "Zombie or post apocalyptic movies released in the last 5 years"

- "Find me top 10 movies on [insert streaming provider]"

- "Can you find me top 10 movies released in the last 5 years I haven't seen"

- "Movies that will make me feel like I'm trapped in space"

- "Movies that put smart people under pressure"

You simply cannot do this with the streaming service aggregators or JustWatch.

The app is designed to help you find movies to watch. Give you back control, instead of just taking what the algorithms give you, and you end up scrolling for 30 mins not picking anything just to end up on youtube or tiktok.

You can find movies based on your interest, ask it for top 10 lists on specific providers and so on...

Do let me know your thoughts. I've personally discovered many gems I never knew existed for example:

- Uncut Gems

- Awakenings

- Wake up Dead Man (Knive's Out)

- A Quiet Place I / II

- Blackberry

- Army of Thieves / Army of the Dead

- Infernal Affairs

- The Amateur

I hope it gives you as much joy as it has given me.

I hope that we stop attacking one another and find peace and work together as a race to overcome our challenges.

I was just wishing they would make a new flash-lite model, these things are so fast. Unfortunately 2.5-flash and therefore 2.5-flash-lite failed some of my agentic workflows.

If 3.1-flash-lite can do the job, this solves basically all latency issues for agentic workflows.

I publish my benchmarks here in case anyone is interested:

P.S: The pricing bump is quiet significant, but still stomachable if it performs well. It is significant though.

Here is a demo link:

https://memovee.com/platform/demo?guest_account_id=019c481b-...

Try queries like:

- "Top 10 movies of 2024, sort by highest rating first"

- "Top 10 zombie apocalypse movies"

- "Find me some good movies that take place in space, no horrors please"

- "Some good movies that will make me appreciate life"

- "Find me movies like Bladerunner"

Or whatever else you can think of. You can also tell it to "filter out movies with less than 300 votes sort by highest rating first" etc...

I think their API is great and have had amazing results with it. Their recent innovations around quantization (bbq) has been amazing for my use case building an agentic movie database for discovering movies and personalized movie recommendations.

There are benefits to not using your database for everything, even if it adds a bit of complexity by introducing another dependency. If the benefits out weigh the cost of complexity reaching for elastic has almost always been worth it for me.

Memovee is an agentic movie database that lets you explore movies using natural language instead of filters or rigid queries.

You can ask things like:

- “Movies that take place in someone’s mind”

- “Top mystery films on Netflix released in the last 5 years”

- “Slow-burn sci-fi movies with strong world-building”

Under the hood, this isn’t just an LLM wrapper. Memovee uses a structured movie database and an agent layer that translates natural-language intent into deterministic queries and aggregations, then reflects on the results before responding.

The agent implementation used by Memovee is open source: https://github.com/upmaru/memovee-tama

This repository shows how intent parsing, query planning, execution, and result refinement are handled step-by-step, rather than relying on opaque prompt chains.

The core engine itself is not open-sourced yet. Memovee is one concrete application built on top of a more general engine whose goal is to make it possible to build systems like this for any enterprise domain — not just movies.

Engine project: https://kritama.com

This is still early and focused purely on movies (not TV yet). Coverage and regional availability vary, and there’s a lot left to improve — especially around reasoning depth, evals, and edge cases.

Happy to answer questions about:

- The agent architecture

- How natural-language intent is mapped to structured data

- Agentic vs deterministic tradeoffs

- The path toward a reusable enterprise engine

Looking forward to feedback — especially critical ones.

IF he's out of Iran, works in a company with a founder or investor he's not violating any laws.

I see comments like "is this a request to bypass sanctions" OR "he's iranian"

Let's remind ourselves of the following:

- First understand that he didn't choose to be born and raised in Iran.

- Second people grow up have families become attached to where they're born it's not easy to just 'pick up and leave' moving to a new country is expensive and extremely difficult especially from countries like Iran.

- Third he's building something he believes in which is probably better than most people who live in privileged countries who sit around and do nothing.

To me this reads like a plea for help.

He's built something and showing it to the world, if someone likes it and wants to fund him / get him out of Iran, so he can pursue his dreams AND have the people who help him benefit along with him. I'm sure he'll be all for that.

The code for the agent is here https://github.com/upmaru/memovee-tama
