Meet Max, Netflix's Answer to Siri

Netflix-max

Netflix has introduced Max, a new voice on its video streaming service that recommends movies and TV shows for users based on how they're feeling and their personal preferences

Available only for PlayStation 3 owners in the United States, Max reminds us of Apple's voice-recognition service Siri. Netflix even thinks so too, cleverly describing Max as a relation of Siri's:

Max, rumored to be the child of Siri and HAL 9000, asks a few questions about your mood or movie and TV show tastes to arrive at a suggestion ... One of the experiences Max offers is called the "ratings game," where you pick a genre to fit your mood and then rate a few titles on the familiar Netflix five star scale ..

Sometimes, when Max feels particularly confident, he will offer a fun, personalized suggestion after asking only one simple question ... Other times, when intoxicated by past success, Max will get a little cocky and offer a suggestion right away, no questions required. The catch ... this is a mystery suggestion and you’ll just have to press play and trust him
