Show HN: Memovee – An agentic movie database (memovee.com)

Hi HN

Memovee is an agentic movie database that lets you explore movies using natural language instead of filters or rigid queries.

You can ask things like:

- “Movies that take place in someone’s mind”

- “Top mystery films on Netflix released in the last 5 years”

- “Slow-burn sci-fi movies with strong world-building”

Under the hood, this isn’t just an LLM wrapper. Memovee uses a structured movie database and an agent layer that translates natural-language intent into deterministic queries and aggregations, then reflects on the results before responding.

The agent implementation used by Memovee is open source: https://github.com/upmaru/memovee-tama

This repository shows how intent parsing, query planning, execution, and result refinement are handled step-by-step, rather than relying on opaque prompt chains.

The core engine itself is not open-sourced yet. Memovee is one concrete application built on top of a more general engine whose goal is to make it possible to build systems like this for any enterprise domain — not just movies.

This is still early and focused purely on movies (not TV yet). Coverage and regional availability vary, and there’s a lot left to improve — especially around reasoning depth, evals, and edge cases.

Happy to answer questions about:

- The agent architecture

- How natural-language intent is mapped to structured data

- Agentic vs deterministic tradeoffs

- The path toward a reusable enterprise engine

Looking forward to feedback — especially critical ones.
