The television platform subsidiary of HD Radio and DTS AutoStage parent Xperi Inc. has brought to market what it describes as “a new conversational AI-powered entertainment experience designed to transform how operators and entertainment platforms help consumers discover and engage with content across television and streaming environments.”
Introducing Agent TiVo, from TiVo Platform Technologies LLC.
In Xperi’s words, “Agent TiVo lets viewers interact naturally by voice or text, helping them find content in the way they think and speak. Instead of relying on traditional keyword searches, viewers can ask questions, refine results through follow-up conversations, receive personalized recommendations and move directly from discovery to action.”
Xperi GM of Pay TV Kevin Lehnart shares, “Entertainment choices have expanded dramatically, making content discovery increasingly complex for viewers. Agent TiVo combines conversational AI with TiVo’s proven voice, discovery and personalization expertise to deliver an experience built specifically for entertainment. The result is a faster, more personalized experience that helps viewers spend less time searching and more time watching, while giving operators and entertainment platforms a powerful new way to deepen engagement.”
The company adds that Agent TiVo allows viewers to search naturally by mood, genre, actor, quote, episode, sports team, source, availability and other criteria. “The experience adapts throughout the conversation, helping viewers narrow options, explore alternatives and receive recommendations tailored to their interests and viewing habits,” the company adds.
The capabilities seen in Agent TiVo combine the power of large language models (LLMs) with TiVo’s voice technology in a hybrid architecture.
