MoviePedia: AI-Powered Movie Discovery Engine

Client: Entertainment Startup • Built by Alpha Squad

The Challenge

Client needed a unique movie discovery platform that goes beyond traditional recommendation engines. They wanted users to find movies based on emotional state, era preferences, and language—not just genre. Traditional development would take 3-4 months with complex AI integration.

Our Solution

Our Alpha Squad delivered a production-ready movie discovery MVP in 7 days using AI Agent-based development. Built an interactive mood wheel, era carousel, language picker, and integrated Groq AI API for intelligent movie recommendations with dynamic theming based on selected era.
