Utelly Universal Search Engine
The real challenge lies in developing a search engine you won’t need to constantly rewire to match your audience’s changing viewing habits and demands.
What we provide instead is a ready-to-use, comprehensive search engine built with OTT media providers in mind and with a UI to rival Netflix’s, to retain your existing users and attract new ones by supercharging your search functionality. A competitive Pay TV search engine should, consequently, be able to handle millions of customized queries, many of which are mired with partial matches, spelling errors, and unexpected synonyms. Utelly’s search engine handles even the most unpredictable queries with relative ease. Highly specific searches, such as for actors or genres, result in relevant answers every single time. Don’t just take our word for it though - our incredibly flexible search engine is popular with both boutique domestic and multinational OTT providers grossing billions in revenue.

Utelly Recommendation Engine
To build rich user and multi-user profiles, we identify key indicators throughout the user life cycle, as well as offer the option to ingest existing datasets and combine this with explicit user signals. These profiles are used in conjunction with our enriched metadata, real-time trending topics, and understanding of the wider user-base, to power our world-class recommendation engine.
There is a huge variation when it comes to individual consumption patterns and behaviors. This is exacerbated by the mixing of linear and on-demand content. Many existing solutions fail in the content landscape of today. Our nuanced approach to the challenge allows us to offer a much more effective solution.
By leveraging the connections within the unified metadata repository, better content filtering can be provided, related content can be highlighted and in turn, a better signal is collected to unlock collaborative filtering.
The next level builds upon user activities and their hidden signals for content desirability. Using the latest ML/AI techniques, prediction models are generated and help drive user engagement and ultimately retention.
