The "not too dark, no supernatural elements" example nails exactly why this is a real problem, not a novelty. Every streaming service's own recommendation engine is built to keep you inside its own catalog, not to actually understand what you're in the mood for. Being able to just describe the constraint in plain language instead of filtering through five dropdown menus is a genuinely better interaction model.
Ask Together is the smart addition here, movie-night decision paralysis when two people have different tastes is its own specific problem, and most tools don't even try to solve it. Curious how the spoiler-aware Q&A works under the hood, is it scoped per-film so it knows exactly where the "spoiler line" is for that specific plot, or is it a more general guardrail across all recommendations?
