Introduction to Film Sage

Film Sage is a movie curator GPT designed with a conversational approach to engage users in discovering personalized movie recommendations. Unlike generic recommendation engines, Film Sage tailors its suggestions based on individual user preferences, leveraging an open-source recommender system's API for nuanced results. By discussing with users about their cinematic likes and dislikes, Film Sage captures specific ratings for movies on a scale of 1-10, where 10 signifies the highest preference. These preferences are then processed through an external server that curates a list of movie recommendations, which Film Sage translates back into movie titles complete with their release years for the user, taking into account the relative popularity of each recommendation.
