The chat
Ask in your own words; every pick is checked against a real catalogue before you see it.
The chat is where Peltify finds things. You ask in your own words, and it answers with picks you can open, play and answer.
1. You ask
- Name a work: films like Prisoners, songs like Beeswax by Nirvana.
- Or a mood or a sound: something tense for tonight, less rap, more instrumental.
- Type @ to pick the exact work from the catalogue, so there is no doubt which one you mean.
- Say the kind you want (films, shows, songs, albums, artists, books). Peltify keeps to it.
If what you typed could mean more than one thing, Peltify says which one it took ("You're thinking of …") before it goes on.
2. It works it out
While it works, a row shows each step as it happens: your ask, your shelf (what you already have), the catalogues it checked, and the picks as they are confirmed. The time it took stays on the line afterwards.
Every pick is checked against a real catalogue (films and series against TMDB, music against Deezer, Last.fm and MusicBrainz, books against Open Library and Google Books) before it is shown. One that could not be checked in time says Unconfirmed on its card.
3. The picks, one at a time
- Each card shows the cover, the year, the maker, what it is about, and why it was picked.
- The ▶ on the cover plays a song, or a film's trailer.
- ‹ › move between picks, and loop back to the start. On a phone, swipe.
4. You answer
| Answer | What it does |
|---|---|
| Want it (thumb up) | Keeps it, and the next rounds lean towards it. |
| Not for me (thumb down) | Passes on it. The chat may ask what missed. |
| Seen it / Heard it / Read it | Files it as known, with optional stars. It will not be offered again. |
| Open on | Opens it on your services: where to watch, listen or read. |
| Add to queue | Music only: puts it in your queue. |
| Chat | Puts the pick in the box, so you can ask about it. |
5. Keep going
- Steer in the box: less scary, shorter, more like the second one.
- Or tap a chip under it: More like this, Three more, New direction, Highly rated.
- Fold the cards away and the chat sums up what you said ("You liked … More like it, or somewhere new?").
Limits
Each account and each visitor gets a number of picks a day. The count is under the box. When it runs out, the chat answers Usage limit hit and says when picks come back. Your library and the queue keep working.
