Under the hood

A recommendation you can question.

Motif combines the story’s attributes with the direction you chose, your own words, and what fits your current viewing context.

Saves & discovery

These are the baseline influences. Recent exposure can lower a title’s position, and deterministic tie-breaking resolves exact ties.

Motif scores its hand-built catalogue and stores your taste profile locally in your browser. When online catalogue search is available, your title search and selected TMDB title ID are sent to Motif's same-origin catalogue API, which queries TMDB. Your notes, chosen direction, result feedback, saves, and dismissals are not included.
