Not just what you watched. What it did to you. That is where Ditto begins.
A thumb or a rating gives a verdict. It doesn't tell us what moved you, what lost you, or why the same film can mean something entirely different to someone else.
"What did you watch? Did you like it?"
Try either verdict. The reason is still missing.
"What worked for you? What didn't? Tell me why."

The gap between those columns is the gap between being tracked and being known.
Sometimes you want something that feels like you. Sometimes you want to go somewhere new. Sometimes it is simply about tonight.
A voice conversation, not a form. Ditto asks about films that stayed with you and listens for the why: the pace, the weight, the craft, the feeling. This is where your taste profile is built.
Recommendations built from your profile, not your click history. Picks that fit, and picks that stretch you somewhere new, across film, TV and documentary.
One question: what are you in the mood for? A short exchange, then a handful of titles matched to the mood you're actually in.
Ditto builds a picture of the feeling and craft you respond to, then looks for those qualities in films and shows. What you say gives it something a rating alone can't.
is you, as you described yourself. is a title. A recommendation happens where they meet.
An illustration of the axes, not a real profile.
The research behind it is simple: taste, unlike behavior, becomes visible only when it is articulated. Asking is not a courtesy. It is the instrument.
Before streaming, my brothers and I went to our corner video store every other weekend. The guy at the counter would point us to something that was somehow exactly us.
Not because he had our history. Because he asked, and then he listened.
I built Ditto because I missed that kind of attention. It's early. It won't always get you right. But there's finally somewhere for the why to go.

A film and TV recommendation platform that learns your taste from a real conversation instead of your viewing history. You talk, it listens, and it finds films and shows that match the why of your taste: the pace, the tone, the craft, the feeling.
They infer from behavior: what you clicked, finished, rated. Behavior says what you did, never why. Ditto starts where they structurally cannot: it asks you, and builds your profile from what you actually say.
No. It is broken into parts and saves as you go. Leave any time, come back any time, and pick up exactly where you stopped. How deep it goes is up to you.
Yes, both. A guided import walks you through exporting your history and brings it in before your interview: your ratings give Ditto a head start, and the conversation picks up from what your diary already shows.
One honest note: your history tells Ditto what you watched, and stars hint at how much. Only the conversation gets to why. The import sharpens the picture; it never replaces the asking.
The feed is your standing shelf: recommendations built from your profile, always there, across film, TV and documentary. A mood session is for right now: you say what you're in the mood for, and Ditto answers with a handful of titles that fit.
Me, Riyad. I'm an Emmy award-winning producer whose work has always lived where story meets technology.
I built Ditto because I kept watching great film and TV get buried by the scroll, and because nothing I used had anywhere to put the reason a film mattered to me.
It is early, and it is built by one person. The note above is mine, and the email in the footer reaches me directly. No support desk.
It does one job: finding you the right thing to watch. When you speak, the audio is transcribed and only the text is kept, never the recording. Your profile, history and conversations are never sold and never used for advertising, and Ditto is not connected to any streaming platform.
The subscription is the entire business model, so you pay with money, not with yourself. And it stays yours to end: delete your account, and your profile, history and conversations go with it.
Two ways. For testers, in the nav ends with a short voice debrief: Ditto asks how it went, you talk. And for anything at all, confusing, broken or missing, riyad@getditto.tv reaches the founder directly.
The founding rate is yours for life. Leave, come back years later, it is still yours. So is the part money cannot buy at any price later: at this size, what you tell Ditto still changes what it becomes.
