Alternative ways of finding content in tvOS using AI

Sometimes it’s very difficult to find a movie or show to watch. You may end up pulling out your phone to search for information online, only to realize you don’t even know where to start. This project is an attempt to design the interface for a search tool in tvOS that helps you explore content in a more intuitive, yet intentional way.

 

The final concept uses an LLM to break down content based on similarity and structures them into distinct paths. This makes it possible to move between a vast variety of content very quickly, map out what’s available and get a feel for if a piece of content is right for you in that specific moment or not.

 

Tools: SwiftUI, HTML/CSS/JS, Figma

How does it work and why does it look like it does? Check out the full walkthrough video below.
