Short answer

How can I use my AI to manage my Trakt data?

Your AI uses Trakt tools to pull your watch history, current watchlist, and media collection. You can then ask your agent for recommendations or summaries based on what you've already seen.

Where your data goes

The outcomes of your requests

Every prompt you send results in one of these four data views.

HISTORY

View past activity

The AI pulls your specific watch history. You'll see exactly what you've finished watching recently.

WATCHLIST

Check upcoming shows

Your agent looks at your Trakt watchlist. This helps you keep track of what you planned to watch next.

COLLECTION

Audit your library

The AI scans your media collection. You can use this to find specific titles you own or have marked.

HUMAN

Manual updates

The AI cannot add new shows to your Trakt account. You still need to use the Trakt app to manually mark items as watched.
