Problem
Discovering new content such as movies, TV shows, podcasts, and books often involves navigating biased online reviews and algorithms, making it difficult for users to find recommendations that align with their personal tastes. Users often rely on generic ratings or risk wasting time on content that doesn't resonate with them.
Solution
SaidThat is a mobile application designed to facilitate the sharing and discovery of content recommendations from a user's trusted social network. The platform enables users to receive instant recommendations from friends and family, eliminating the need to sift through mainstream critics and biased reviews. SaidThat allows users to share their own recommendations, discover what's trending within their network, and maintain a personalized queue of content to explore. The app also uses AI to summarize online reviews when friends haven't reviewed a specific item.
Target Audience
