How to Blend Movie Taste with Claude
Blend several favorite movies into one shortlist with Claude and ToolRouter using Similar Movies.
Tool
Claude helps when the shortlist needs to be shaped around a subtle blend instead of just pulled from several seed movies. Run `blend_taste`, then ask Claude to explain which candidate best captures the overlap between the seeds.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Similar Movies tool:
- List the two to five seed movies that define the taste profile you want to blend.
- Run `similar-movies.blend_taste` with those seeds and any exclusions or quality thresholds.
- Review which candidates matched multiple seeds and ask Claude to explain the best fit for the overlap you described.
- Choose the final shortlist and optionally hand a pick into `movie-tv-search` for more detailed lookup.
Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the Similar Movies tool
Use similar-movies to blend Zodiac and Gone Girl into one shortlist, exclude Se7en from the results, and tell me which movie best preserves the investigative tension without feeling like a direct copy.
Tips
- Two or three seeds usually produce the cleanest blended shortlist.
- Use `avoid_titles` when one obvious pick keeps crowding out fresher options.
- Look for results that match multiple seeds instead of just one.
