In an era where smartphones act as personal concierges, guiding us to our next meal or destination with a few quick taps, we’ve all experienced the frustration of a generic, one-size-fits-all recommendation that misses the mark.

Netflix has a knack for recommending exactly what you didn’t know you were in the mood to watch.
