In a press release published on October 5th, Pix “helps users find their next favorite TV show, movie, book, or podcast. Users can send a text or email and “receive entertainment recommendations within seconds.”
The press release adds:
Pix is not just another AI chatbot. It combines 600 million consumer data points and machine learning algorithms from Likewise with the natural language processing of OpenAI to make finding great content easy. Pix learns the individual preferences of each user and provides them with recommendations that are truly personalized to their individual tastes. Pix even reaches out to users when new content becomes available that matches their personal interests.
Pix integrates seamlessly into people’s daily lives to help them find their next favorite show, movie, book, or podcast. Pix responds to entertainment questions via email, text, connected TV devices, the Likewise mobile App, and on Likewise.com. For example, anyone can:
- Text Pix: ‘Can you recommend a scary movie on Prime or Hulu?‘
- Email Pix: ‘What is a thrilling novel similar to The Silent Patient?’
- Speak to Pix via their TV Remote: ‘What are some documentaries currently trending on Netflix or Max‘
No matter the platform, Pix provides more than just basic answers. Every response from Pix includes recommended shows, movies, books, or podcasts along with a link to a unique web page that provides additional information on every recommended item. Each recommendation includes a description, rating, reviews, and in the case of TV shows and movies, the ability to watch a trailer and even launch the show or movie right from Likewise.
While AI chatbots have deservedly captured the public’s attention, personal companions like Pix will soon make AI practical for each of us, every day. Likewise is thrilled to introduce Pix, a true personal entertainment companion that is available anytime and anywhere to help all of us find our next favorite TV show, movie, book, or podcast.
Ian Morris, CEO of Likewise, said
In March the multibillionaire philanthropist and investor Bill Gates declared that “the Age of AI has begun;” with one of his first open investments into this field was Likewise. In a blog post published that same month, Gates wrote: “I knew I had just seen the most important advance in technology since the graphical user interface.”

As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
Proverbs 26:14
All this is doing is just compounding lazy upon lazy, while collecting people’s likes and interests more fluently.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
