To access the integration, users can install the Tubi app from the ChatGPT app store and begin by typing “@Tubi” in a prompt. From there, they can make natural-language requests like “a thriller for girls’ night” or “something funny,” and instantly receive curated recommendations tailored to their preferences, all linked back to titles available on Tubi.

The launch comes as competition across the streaming industry intensifies. With endless entertainment options, discovery has become a challenge for all platforms vying for limited viewer attention. Many streamers have even begun incorporating features inspired by social media platforms to keep users engaged, reflecting broader shifts in how audiences consume content.

Tubi’s move builds on earlier experiments with AI. In 2023, the company introduced “Rabbit AI,” a feature within its mobile app powered by ChatGPT that allowed users to ask specific questions and receive personalized recommendations. However, the tool was discontinued the following year.

The new ChatGPT integration suggests a strategic pivot: Instead of trying to replicate AI experiences in-house, Tubi is now meeting users where they’re already turning for answers. ChatGPT reached 900 million weekly active users in February. Tubi reports more than 100 million monthly active users.
