Scrolling through a streaming library looking for something to watch is its own kind of exhausting. But Tubi just fixed it. The free streaming service has been integrated into ChatGPT, making it the first video streaming platform to do so.
Starting today, you can ask ChatGPT directly for movie and TV recommendations from Tubi’s library and start watching within seconds, all without leaving the chat interface.
How to use Tubi inside ChatGPT?
Getting started is straightforward on both desktop and mobile. On your desktop, click “Apps” in the ChatGPT sidebar, search for Tubi, and connect it. On mobile, tap the plus button near the prompt bar, select Explore Apps, search for Tubi, and connect it.
Once connected, you can either type @Tubi or start your message with something like “Using Tubi, recommend…” followed by whatever you are in the mood for. Your requests can be as broad or specific as you like, from underrated comedy films to movies with your favorite action heroes.
ChatGPT will search Tubi’s library and return matches within seconds. If the first round of recommendations does not quite land, you can keep refining by saying things like “make it scarier” or “suggest something shorter.”
From ChatGPT’s recommendation to watching on Tubi
Once you spot something worth watching, a “Watch on Tubi” button takes you straight into the app and starts playing without any additional search.
The more detail you pack into your prompt, the better your results will be. Listing a few titles you already love and asking for something similar is a solid way to get the most out of it.
ChatGPT opened its app store last December and has been steadily growing its ecosystem since. It currently includes apps for platforms like Apple Music, Zillow, Spotify, and Canva.
With Tubi now live as the first streamer in ChatGPT’s growing app ecosystem, the next question is how long before Netflix, Disney Plus, and others follow.
