Content Recommendations
On the homepage, DIAGNAL deploys Recombee-powered “Recommended For You” rails across client platforms. These use a hybrid of collaborative filtering and popularity-based models to generate personalized content suggestions from the first session. The row updates instantly after a user’s first interaction, such as clicking a title, and continues to refine based on ongoing activity.
Personalized Discovery Through Similar Content
To drive continued exploration and surface relevant content, DIAGNAL-powered apps use Recombee to deliver intelligent “More Like This” recommendations. These suggestions appear on title detail pages and present users with similar shows or movies based on their current selection and viewing history.
The result is increased content engagement and improved user satisfaction, while keeping the viewing experience personalized and intuitive.
Seamless Continuation Post-Playback
To maintain user momentum and support continuous viewing sessions, DIAGNAL-powered apps leverage end-of-playback recommendations powered by Recombee. These suggestions appear automatically after a title finishes playing and are designed to align with the viewer’s taste and recent behavior. This not only supports user retention and longer watch times, but also enhances satisfaction by offering content that feels naturally aligned with what the viewer just finished watching.
Intelligent Title Discovery
When users search for specific films or shows, DIAGNAL-powered platforms rely on Recombee’s fine-tuned search engine to deliver fast, accurate results. The engine uses real-time popularity signals alongside personalized logic to boost the visibility of the most relevant titles. This helps users find what they’re looking for quickly, while also surfacing unexpected yet fitting suggestions, keeping the overall discovery experience fluid and satisfying.
