Description

This automated n8n workflow enables an AI-powered movie recommendation system on WhatsApp. Users send messages like “I want to watch a horror movie” or “Where can I watch the Jumanji movie?” The workflow uses AI to interpret the request, searches relevant APIs (e.g., TMDb, JustWatch), and replies with movie recommendations or streaming platform availability via WhatsApp.

Fundamental Aspects

• WhatsApp Webhook Trigger: Initiates the workflow when a WhatsApp message is received.
• Analyze WhatsApp Message: Uses AI (e.g., Ollama Model) to interpret the user’s intent and extract request type.
• Check Request Type: Determines if the request is for a movie genre or a specific movie title.
• Check Where Request: Identifies if the request includes a “where to watch” query.
• Extract Movie Title: Extracts the movie title from the message if specified.
• Extract Genre: Identifies the movie genre from the message if specified.
• Search Specific Movie Title: Queries an API (e.g., TMDb) for details about a specific movie.
• Search Movies by Genre: Queries an API (e.g., TMDb) for movies matching the genre.
• Get Streaming Availability: Queries an API (e.g., JustWatch) for streaming platforms.
• Format Streaming Response: Prepares the response with streaming platform details.
• Format Genre Recommendations: Prepares the response with genre-based movie recommendations.
• Prepare WhatsApp Message: Formats the final response for WhatsApp.
• Send WhatsApp Response: Sends the recommendation or streaming info back to the user via WhatsApp.
