Movie Recommendation ChatBot

The movie recommendation chatbot is designed to help users find the perfect movie to watch based on their interests and preferences. The chatbot asks the user for their preferred movie genre and then recommends a movie that fits that genre.

The bot utilizes a ChatBotKit Skillset to access trending movies and to search for movies based on the user's preferences. This Skillset is interacting the TMDb API to retrieve movie data. This means that the bot can provide up-to-date movie recommendations and information to users.

To complete the setup of this chatbot, you can will need to create your own TMDb API key and configure a ChatBotKit Secret to store it. You can then use this key to access the TMDb API and retrieve movie data for the bot to recommend.

Here are a few powerful features that could be added to the movie:

• Incorporate previously seen movies: One way to make the bot more effective is to allow it to track the movies that a user has already seen. This way, it can recommend movies that are similar to ones that the user has enjoyed in the past. To do this, you could use a ChatBotKit Dataset to store a list of movies that the user has already seen, and then use this information to filter out movies that have already been watched. Alternative the list can be stored in an external database.

• Integrate with more movie databases: Another way to make the bot more powerful is to integrate it with a movie database like IMDB or Rotten Tomatoes. This would allow the bot to access a much larger pool of movies to recommend, and also provide additional information like ratings and reviews to help the user make a decision. You could use a ChatBotKit Skillset to access this data and incorporate it into the bot's recommendations.

• Allow for more detailed preferences: Right now, the bot only asks for a general preference (action, comedy, drama, etc.). To make the recommendations more tailored to the user's tastes, you could ask for more detailed preferences such as specific genres, actors, or directors. You could also allow the user to rate movies that they have seen, and use this information to make better recommendations in the future.
