While that might be true, you can also just type "Movies that show smart people under pressure" [1] or similar queries directly into Google, and Gemini AI overview will give you a list of movies that match said criteria.
I assume you’re just passing the request on to an LLM. So unless the LLM is running on prem (like a tiny llama model), you’re probably sending it to OpenRouter or some other AI provider at cost which might explain the In-App purchases.
In all candor, I think it’s going to be an incredibly hard sell to convince people to pay for a recommendation app.
It's a lot more than an LLM, it's backed by database + LLM. Gemini / ChatGPT on it's own believe it or not has hallucinated movies and imdb links.
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...
Fun game. Works well on iPhone 13, but doesn’t work on iPhone SE (screen doesn’t fit and there is no way to scroll). Another thought, would be great to see how score compares to others or the average, best score, fastest, etc).
This looks great, congrats! I’ve tried a number of photogrammetry software and they typically had challenges. One question: are you able to determine the size of the object?
A large part of this appears to be non cash expense associated with stock compensation that was recognized due to an investment round where they let employees and investors sell shares at above “market value”. Can helpful to look at cash flow.
Some unsolicited advice for any Uber employees here on HN: You may want to seriously consider selling all vested shares. The price not be what you are expecting, but, from my own personal experience, and "most expert advice", it can be better to sell and diversify. Many one-time high-fliers, such as Zynga (where I previously worked), never got back to their IPO or lockup expiry price.
I was at Groupon at IPO. IPO’d at $20. Dropped to $3.50 by the time lockup ended. I sold because I needed the cash. 7 years later, it’s trading at $2.90. The market isn’t perfect, but shenanigans with private company valuations are usually worse.
