Netflix debuts its generative AI-powered search tool

TechCrunch07-05-2025
After hinting at a new AI-powered search experience during its recent earnings call, Netflix officially unveiled the feature at its tech and product event on Wednesday.
This new search experience will utilize OpenAI's ChatGPT to provide users with a conversational discovery experience. Users can enter their preferences using natural phrases like 'I want something funny and upbeat' or even more detailed requests, such as 'I want something scary, but not too scary, and maybe a little bit funny, but not haha funny.'
The feature is set to roll out this week to iOS users as an opt-in beta. Some subscribers in Australia and New Zealand have already had access to it, as reported by Bloomberg last month.
Other competitors are also leveraging generative AI for search. For instance, Amazon has an AI voice search experience on Fire TVs that responds to open-ended inquiries about TV shows and movies. A closer comparison is Tubi's ChatGPT-powered search tool, which answered content-related questions and suggested movies based on a user's specific request.
However, Tubi later discontinued the feature, probably because of low adoption. It remains to be seen whether Netflix's new feature will face similar challenges.
Additionally, at the tech and product event, the company mentioned plans to use generative AI to update title cards in subscribers' preferred languages.

Meghan Markle forced to issue refunds after another As Ever website blunder frustrates shoppers

Meghan Markle was forced to issue a bunch of refunds to frustrated shoppers after yet another website stock error left customers without their $14 apricot spread. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, promised free replacement jars to her loyal buyers — just weeks before her website experienced a similar blunder with its $28 honey. 'Due to high demand, we are unable to fulfill your order of the apricot spread at this time. We are refunding the purchase of this item by the end of this week,' a message from the 'Suits' alum read. 6 Meghan Markle was forced to issue a bunch of refunds to frustrated shoppers after yet another website stock error left customers without their $14 apricot spread. @meghan/Instagram The lifestyle company assured customers that they would be 'the first to receive it, free of charge' once stock becomes available.

The Future Of Search: Content Strategies For Changing User Behaviors

The Future of Search: Content Strategies for Changing User Behaviors B2B marketing leaders face a harsh reality: Buyers aren't searching for information the way they used to, but most marketing teams are optimizing as if they are. Even as organic traffic declines, many teams continue to rely on outdated digital marketing playbooks to plan, publish, and measure content. These habits are hard to break. They're reinforced by legacy KPIs, familiar workflows, and pressure to show immediate results. Marketers still chase keyword rankings, obsess about page views, and anchor reporting in click-based behaviors, even as genAI redefines how search works and how buyers discover and trust information. Your Buyers' Search Behavior Has Changed Search used to be straightforward: A buyer typed in a query, scanned a results page, and clicked through to vendor content. But that linear search-to-click path is done. Today, buyers ask questions in natural language and get instant, AI-curated answers. According to Forrester's Buyers' Journey Survey, 2024, 89% of B2B buyers say they're using genAI tools at every stage of the purchase process. They consult genAI tools such as Perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, often on mobile devices or embedded in enterprise software, to accelerate how they learn and evaluate solutions. They gather insights from multiple self-guided sources, including genAI tools, vendor websites, social media platforms, user review websites, industry events, and industry or business association websites. The Risks Of Sticking With An Outdated Content Strategy Holding on to yesterday's content strategy doesn't just slow you down. It actively undermines your visibility, credibility, and influence with modern B2B buyers because even high-quality content is getting filtered, summarized, or skipped entirely. Here's what's at stake: Content Visibility Has New Rules And Higher Stakes Today's buyers are gathering insights in more places before they reach your site. To stay visible and credible, your content must meet them where they are, earn their trust quickly, and reflect the depth of expertise that they expect. This means moving beyond keywords and building content around buyer intent, clear answers, and proof of authority. Every asset should reinforce your relevance and readiness — because if your content isn't built to be recognized by AI and respected by buyers, it won't show up where decisions are made.
