How it works
Eight questions, then a real shortlist.
Most recommenders ask you to invent a query. Suggest Me Something asks you about your mood. Each answer is a small dial; together they tune a query to a public catalog and return something the catalog already knows about.
Step one — pick a medium
Movies, songs or books. Each has its own quiz, because the questions that matter for a film (runtime, tone, era) are not the questions that matter for a song (tempo, energy, familiarity) or a book (pace, depth, length).
Step two — swipe through the quiz
One card at a time. Tap an answer or swipe it away. You can go back, skip, and see your progress along the top. Most people finish in under ninety seconds.
Step three — we translate
Your answers map to filter parameters the catalogs already accept — TMDB genres and keywords, Spotify audio features like valence and energy, Google Books subjects and page-count ranges. There is no large language model and no creative guessing. The same answers always produce a coherent set of picks.
Step four — read the shortlist
Six to ten picks first, with the full details: poster or cover, year, rating, a short synopsis, where to watch or read, and a one-line note on why this fits your mood. Want more? Tap show more for the next batch.
