I built this after seeing a tweet where someone was trying to describe a show from their childhood and nobody could figure it out. You type what you remember — even if it's vague or wrong — and Claude AI identifies the movie, show, cartoon, or anime. TMDB provides the posters, ratings, and metadata. Each result includes links to JustWatch, Amazon, Apple TV, YouTube, and Google to find where to watch it. Supports 20 languages and voice input via Web Speech API. Stack: Python, Flask, Claude API (Anthropic), TMDB API, vanilla JS frontend. Deployed on Render free tier. Source: https://github.com/SaraTnazari/whatdidIwatch Would love feedback — especially on accuracy. Try it with something obscure and let me know if it gets it right.

This is fun :)

And frighteningly good at guessing what I'm throwing at it. Makes a good reverse guessing game: Find something it doesn't get right.

My only success so far:
