The Film Tip Finder is an innovative tool developed by the Süddeutsche Zeitung that uses a database of more than 3,500 film critiques to provide personalized movie recommendations. Users can input specific questions about their movie preferences, and the tool aims to suggest up to five films that match their queries, offering a brief summary of each film's critique and detailing the rationale behind the recommendations.

The system encourages users to ask varied questions and provides example inquiries to guide them. However, it is important to note that if the queries are overly restrictive, the tool may not yield any results. Additionally, users cannot currently filter recommendations based on specific streaming platforms, limiting how they can access the suggested films.

Despite the curation process, accuracy is not guaranteed. The AI assistant might misunderstand either the user's question or the underlying film critique, leading to potentially flawed recommendations. Users should be mindful that while the tool is designed to assist in finding suitable films, errors may occur in the suggestions provided by the system.
