How the search behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI add movies to my personal watchlist?

    No. The AI can only search and retrieve data from the OMDb database.

    Can I search for actors instead of titles?

    No. The available tools are limited to searching by movie, series, or episode titles.

  • 03

    Does the AI update its own database?

    No. The AI only reads data from the OMDb API; it cannot write or change any records.

    No. You can only filter by title, year, or genre using the current tools.

  • 05

    Will the AI remember my search history?
