How do you build a recommender system that goes beyond genres and understands how people feel?
In this talk, we’ll share the journey of building Movie Groovy, a GenAI-powered application that recommends movies based on vibes and emotional preferences. You’ll get a look into how we combined LLMs, Agents in Python, Vector DBs, and custom UX logic to create an easy and emotionally-aware experience.
Along the way, we’ll highlight the technical challenges, design decisions, and surprising insights that came from balancing user trust, AI accuracy, and creative UX. If you are interested in GenAI, recommender systems, human-centered design, or just … movies, this talk will give you actionable ideas and inspiration for your own projects.
