Even among those users, it is reportedly only accessible on a subset of their devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>Users with access to the tool can press the Netflix button on their remote to activate AI voice search. Netflix offers some suggested searches with an &#8220;Ask&#8221; button that leads to an AI-powered search, letting users speak to search and find things to watch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>Voice search reportedly performs very well with most queries and can surface relevant TV shows and movies even for difficult searches. In fact, a simple query like &#8220;funny children&#8217;s TV shows about death&#8221; reportedly brought up a series of unfortunate events that certainly fit that description.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>Netflix also appears to have made sure that Search doesn&#8217;t respond to certain types of searches, including racist sentiments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>This certainly seems to be a well-intentioned move on the company&#8217;s part, even though it&#8217;s still in beta. However, it is missing some key features. For example, it cannot display shows based on users&#8217; viewing history or use personalized recommendations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>This omission is surprising, as Netflix&#8217;s personalized recommendations are exceptionally good. Including these in this new AI-powered voice search would have made it an even better tool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>Although we&#8217;re not sure when Netflix will roll out this upgrade to everyone, it&#8217;s definitely worth the wait if its reported accuracy is to be believed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_pd e_D\">\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our community.
