The Tubi app launches directly into ChatGPT to provide you with TV and movie recommendations

tubesthe free streaming platform known for its extensive library of classics and independent films, has added an app to ChatGPT. You can now use its chatbot to find content recommendations for TV shows and movies on Tubi, the streaming site announced Tuesday.

You may already have your own search strategy when using Tubi, but adding the native app inside ChatGPT allows you to start a conversation and request personalized, uber-personalized address suggestions. If you watch a movie or show that interests you, you have the option to tap “Watch on Tubi” to stream it on a mobile device or the web. In the mood for scary yeti movies? Use @Tubi for your prompt in the chatbot and ask something like, “Horror movies with aggressive dimensional characters” and expect to see a selection of titles that fit your wishlist.

“Live streaming should be easy, and as chatbots and AI agents become a popular way people navigate the internet, Tubi is expanding its discovery experience to meet viewers the moment they express their intentions in their own words,” Mike Pidgoli, Tubi’s head of product and technology, said in a statement.

ChatGPT has opened its own app store Last December. It currently includes apps for Apple Music, Zillow, Spotify, and Canva, providing the ability to connect your accounts for research, design, or request recommendations. In 2023, Tubi created its own AI-powered tool called Rabbit AI for mobile users to help audiences find content to watch. The company later shut down the feature that was used Open the GPT-4 AI chat. With its launch today, it is the first video streaming service to add an app within ChatGPT.
