Netflix’s new AI Discover tool will ask about your mood and tell you what to watch
Date: November 3, 2026
Netflix has started testing a new feature called AI Discover, which aims to make it easier for users to find something worth watching instead of mindlessly scrolling through its catalog of films and TV series. The broad idea is that you simply tell it what you’re in the mood to watch, and the AI handpicks movies and TV shows accordingly.
Netflix says AI Discover has been built around themes, which help users narrow down their choices instead of going through a list of genre presets or content types. For example, you can pick themes like a family movie, something lighthearted, something scary, or something suited to a quick watch. Once you’ve selected a theme, the AI will dive into Netflix’s catalog and show you the right content.

As you keep scrolling through a themed selection, you’ll see even more theme choices, or you can tap the Something Different / Get More Choices button to see another batch of recommendations that fit the theme you’ve already described. Every film and TV show recommended by AI Discover will also have an accompanying Tune Your Recommendations option.

It lets you save a title as a recommended pick for you, or ask the AI to never recommend it again. Once you’ve said you don’t want something in your recommendations, the AI will remember it. So, the next time you ask it for a comedy film, that particular title won’t show up in the recommended batch.

AI Discover is rolling out to users in the US, but for now, it only supports English and is limited to the TV app. It’s also only available to a select group of users, though the test pool will expand in the coming weeks. If you’re already in that lucky batch, you’ll see the Discover icon with a “New” label in the top navigation row.
Your next food order could come from the same screen you use to watch your favorite shows. SoundHound AI is partnering with LG Electronics to bring restaurant ordering to LG Smart TVs across the US. The rollout is expected to begin in December and reach approximately 20 million TVs.
Adobe has just announced that it’s bringing licensed music from Universal Music Group (UMG) and Warner Music Group (WMG) to its Adobe Premiere mobile app. Thanks to the partnership, users will be able to search for and find music from these two giants right in the app.
For social media users, this partnership also solves a huge problem. When people post content with music playing in the background, it’s often flagged for copyright violations on social media platforms. Now, if they pick a soundtrack distributed by either Universal Music Group or Warner Music Group, they can simply add it to their videos and post them freely across social media for personal use, without having to worry about copyright strikes and takedown notices.
Malware infecting Android devices isn’t new, but Google’s recent report is grim and concerning. The search giant has taken down a massive botnet that turned over 1.3 million Android TV set-top boxes into tools for cybercriminals. Unlike the usual attacks, where users end up downloading some shady apps from the internet, the malware here was planted inside the devices by the manufacturer itself.
According to the Google Threat Intelligence Group, the company behind it is China-based Videostrong Technology. Google has now cut ties with the manufacturer and banned it from building or supplying software for certified Android devices.
