And because of that, competition has increased within the streaming community. Every streaming platform, from Disney Plus to Netflix to Hulu, every service is trying its best to use artificial intelligence to improve the performance and experience of the consumers.

But how does artificial intelligence help streaming platforms like Netflix and Hulu? Well, artificial intelligence works on improving the user experience and goes the extra mile to suggest content based on their activity and liking.
Thinking of changing your Netflix country? You probably still can run away from that level of micro-control. Let’s deep dive into the ways how artificial intelligence is controlling your streaming experience.
Personalize Consumer Journey
Netflix and Hulu are two prominent streaming platforms that are known for storing consumer journeys and using that information to improve their experience by providing them similar recommendations. They use their journey to recognize their motivators and needs, along with the broader molecules, to understand their desires.
Artificial intelligence is behind this; Netflix and Hulu employ AI to personalize users’ experiences and provide solutions to their problems. AI also bridges the gaps that users may or may not experience.
Hence, it scans their recent browsing history and recommends shows and movies that best fit their needs. Of course, they only recommend shows that are restricted to their geographical location. At the same time, if you are using a VPN, and you change your country to the UK or USA, your recommendation section becomes even more extensive.
How does it truly elevate the experience of the user? It basically draws more power towards the consumers as they get to experience the type of content they like.
Artificial intelligence catalyzes their scanning and needs to search for shows that best suit their needs. Hence, a lot of time that a user would spend scanning and search for a movie would be saved by AI.
Deliberate Marketing
Most streaming services, like Netflix, are known for maximizing the actual potential of original shows by exciting the viewers beforehand.
Thus, artificial intelligence is used to merchandise and market a show, and that way, the site can also calculate the potential of the show running.
This action is also known as deliberate marketing through which the streaming platform is able to guess and plot the size of its market and the size of the audience that might connect with the connection they are putting out there.
You might have seen sections where you are recommended movies based on the movie you just watched. These titles are the same as the movie that you’ve just watched. Well, the recommendation is there for a reason. Netflix has metadata, titles, and tags that are linked to similar shows and movies to drive user interest.

Tailored Thumbnails and Artwork
Do you know how the image of food can entice you and make your appetite go off the roof? Similarly, the thumbnail of a title is used to give the audience a hint of what they can expect. It is obviously done on purpose, to entice the user and elevate their excitement.
Well, both Netflix and Hulu are aware of the power an image holds; they know whatever image is used to merchandize a show, will set the tone for the users, and so it must be personalized and based on their interests needs. The information is derived from your clicking habits.
The type of thumbnail you click on is the type of thumbnail that works and so similar patterns will be applied elsewhere.

Size Of The Audience
Both streaming platforms are acutely aware of the type of behavior that is most noticeable in particular countries and regions. And so, if they know erotic movies work most spectacularly in conservative countries like India and Bangladesh, they would try to market such titles with the most conviction there.
Market those titles way before their arrival, ask the consumers to add them as reminders so that they don’t miss out.
Universe Based on Individual Profiles
Artificial intelligence is efficiently used to optimize the experience of the user. The type of content they most watch, the titles they mostly click on and the content they search for on the search bar, the reminders that are added, these features are designed to gain an insight into the mind of the user.
And this way, every user has a universe that is based on their interests. The movie genres they mostly watch; it’s how the algorithms work.
Conclusion
Artificial intelligence may seem intimidating at first, but controls our lives more dominantly than we think; it’s not just in the movies. Our algorithms control us and they are controlled by our likes and dislikes. Netflix and Hulu are the few streaming platforms that have understood the role and used it to their advantage.
