Describe a Movie and Find It

Why traditional search fails for vague memories and how FindByVibe uses AI to match plot, scene, and character descriptions.

The problem with traditional search

Most people remember movies as fragments: a scene, a feeling, or a single line of dialogue. Search engines expect exact keywords like actor names or release years, so those fuzzy memories often fail to surface the right movie.

The AI difference

FindByVibe is built for natural descriptions. You can explain the plot, mention a scene, or share a quote. The AI interprets meaning and then we verify candidates against real movie data to keep results accurate.

How to describe a movie effectively

Start with the plot hook: who is the main character and what changes their life?

Add one memorable scene or visual detail that you can picture clearly.

Include any actor, director, or character name you remember.

Example prompts

A time loop thriller where a soldier relives the same battle.

A detective investigates a murder in a snowy small town with a twist ending.

A movie directed by Nolan about a dream heist.
