AiFlix 🎥 - AI-Powered Movie Recommendation Platform

AiFlix is a movie recommendation website that provides users with curated lists of movies, detailed information on individual titles, and AI-based movie recommendations based on mood prompts. Built using modern web technologies like React.js, Tailwind CSS, Firebase, and TMDB API, it offers an engaging movie discovery experience.

✨ Features

• AI Movie Suggestions:

  • Powered by a custom AI engine, users can input a text prompt describing their mood or movie preferences (e.g., "feeling adventurous" or "looking for a light-hearted comedy"), and AiFlix will recommend movies that match the mood.
