Books, films, series, podcasts — mix any of them. We'll find the one you haven't met yet, and tell you why it fits.

Free, no account, about thirty seconds. One pick you haven’t met — and why it fits.
This is a free, no-account demo of Tangent, a cross-media recommendation engine. You name three to five things you already love — in any mix of books, films, TV series and podcasts — and it returns something to try next, drawn from a different medium than the one you came in on.
Most recommendation tools work inside one medium: books suggest books, films suggest films. Tangent recommends across all four, so a novel you loved can lead you to a documentary, a series, or a podcast that shares its themes.
Search the catalog and pick three to five titles. Mixing media helps — a book, a film and a podcast together describe your taste more precisely than three books do.
Every title in the catalog is embedded in a single shared vector space, so the similarity between a book and a podcast is directly computable rather than guessed from genre labels. Your picks are combined into one point in that space.
The result comes back with a short reason explaining the connection, on a shareable link you can send to someone. No account, no email, nothing to install.
The demo draws on Tangent's catalog of 30,064 titles — 11,381 books, 10,108 films, 5,186 TV series and 3,389 podcasts — each one embedded and enriched with themes, subgenres and form so that connections can be drawn between media rather than only within them.
No. The demo is anonymous and needs no email, signup or payment. You get a shareable result link that keeps working afterwards.
About thirty seconds — most of which is you choosing what you love.
Yes, and it works better that way. Cross-media picks are the point: the engine is built to connect a book to a film or a podcast, not just to another book.
Pick the closest thing you can find. Three or four good matches describe your taste well enough, and the catalog grows continuously.
