At Clerkdogs, we believe that humans give the best movie recommendations. That’s why we’ve invented an entirely new engine powered by humans—not algorithms. Our unique database is so intuitive and conversational; it’s a lot like interacting with a great clerk in a top quality-video store.
That’s no coincidence—our database is made up of literally hundreds of thousands of individual recommendations from dozens of former video store clerks. Our former clerks, who understand why customers like movies, have analyzed all the characteristics of movies to create a database that is much richer and deeper than the collaborative filtering engines. Our system was designed to allow customers to interact with our database and to take control of their movie selection experience.
The movie genome project that powers Clerkdogs was started when I opened my first brick-and-mortar video store in 1985, and moved to the web in 1995 when I founded Reel.com. Two years ago I reunited the original writers from Reel.com to create this revolutionary new movie recommendation site. We are located in San Francisco’s Mission District and currently have 10 full-time and 25 part-time employees.
We have designed this innovative search engine for the movie buffs who have seen so many movies that they’re having a hard time finding new ones (or old ones) that they will really love. I hope you find hundreds of great movies!
