How AI Recommendations Work in VibeTivi

Smart Recommendations for IPTV

Traditional IPTV players show you a flat list of channels and movies. VibeTivi goes further with a 3-layer recommendation system that learns what you like.

Layer 1: On-Device Rules Engine (Free)

The first layer runs entirely on your device. It analyzes your watch history to find patterns — which categories you watch most, what time of day you prefer certain content, and what's been recently added to your library. No data leaves your device.

Layer 2: TMDB Enrichment (Free)

The second layer matches your VOD library against The Movie Database (TMDB) to find ratings, poster art, and similar titles. If you watched a lot of sci-fi movies, it finds other highly-rated sci-fi films in your library.

Layer 3: AI-Powered Picks (Premium)

The third layer uses Claude AI to analyze your complete viewing patterns — what you finished vs. abandoned, time-of-day preferences, and genre affinities. It returns 25+ specific title recommendations with reasons why you'd enjoy each one. Your library data never leaves your device — only anonymized viewing patterns are sent to our server.

Privacy First

We never see your playlist URLs, stream links, or the actual content you watch. AI recommendations only use title-level patterns (e.g., "watched 5 action movies this week") to generate suggestions.
