ABOUT THE SEER

> What is this?
The Seer is a semantic search engine for film. Describe a mood, vibe, or narrative texture in plain language — “tense slow-burn sci-fi noir” — and it finds matching movies in your Plex library using AI embeddings.
> How it works
Janus-Hermes embeds each film's metadata and descriptions with Voyage, then compares your query (optionally expanded server-side) against the library via cosine similarity. Results are ranked by semantic match score — not keyword overlap.
> Sister to The Oracle
The Oracle does the same thing for music. The Seer is its film counterpart — same CRT aesthetic, amber phosphor instead of green, movies instead of albums.
> Tips
- Be evocative — mood and atmosphere beat genre labels alone
- Use [SIMILAR] on any result to explore neighbors
- If you see a library indexing error, embeddings haven't finished loading yet
