TasteGraph / How it works

How TasteGraph learns why you like things

TasteGraph builds recommendations from the patterns inside what you rate, not from a single genre label or a list of what other people clicked.

What happens to your ratings

  1. You rate what you love

    Add or rate movies, shows, books, and games. Ten strong signals are enough to start.

  2. It looks for recurring traits

    TasteGraph identifies patterns in tone, pacing, themes, character types, and narrative structure.

  3. Those traits become your Taste DNA

    The recurring patterns are written up as a plain-English taste profile, each one tied to titles you rated.

  4. Candidates are ranked against it

    Recommendations are ranked by how their traits fit the patterns already in your profile.

  5. Each pick shows its reason

    Every recommendation says why it matches, tied back to things you rated.

One example, start to finish.
You rated
  • Arrival movie
  • Outer Wilds game
  • Past Lives movie
  • Station Eleven TV
It noticed

Slow revelation, where the answer changes the story. Arrival and Outer Wilds.

Melancholy with warmth. Past Lives and Station Eleven.

It picked

Dark TV, 2017

"Like Arrival, time is the puzzle and the answer comes from understanding, not action."

Your profile keeps changing as you rate.

Taste DNA is built from your evidence. More ratings can strengthen a pattern, add a new one, or show where a label stops being useful.

That is why TasteGraph can say you like slow-burn mysteries but not every slow story, or that you respond to melancholy when it still carries warmth.
