How to Blend Movie Taste with ChatGPT
Use ChatGPT and ToolRouter to combine several favorite movies into one recommendation shortlist.
Tool
ChatGPT is useful when you want the blended shortlist translated into an easy recommendation note for another person. Start with `blend_taste`, then ask ChatGPT to explain the through-line that connects the final picks.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Similar Movies tool:
- Tell ChatGPT which seed movies define the blend and what titles should be explicitly excluded.
- Run `similar-movies.blend_taste` and inspect the ranked results, especially which ones matched multiple seeds.
- Ask ChatGPT to explain the best first pick, the best backup, and the boldest curveball from the shortlist.
- Use the final write-up as a watchlist note, recommendation message, or planning aid.
Example Prompt
Try this with ChatGPT using the Similar Movies tool
Use similar-movies to blend Inception and Arrival into one shortlist. Exclude franchise repeats and explain which movie is the best first watch if I want cerebral sci-fi rather than pure action.
Tips
- Ask ChatGPT to frame the shortlist around mood after the structured results come back.
- Use exclusions to keep the blend from collapsing into the same canonical recommendations every time.
- This skill is better for intersection-style discovery than simple one-seed lookup.
