No more doom-scrolling inside Netflix. If you message the MovieJam bot with the right context, it spits out a three-title pack—with streaming links and snack ideas—in under a minute. Here’s the exact flow our power users follow.

Step 1

Save + pin the MovieJam contact

Add +65 8161 5926 to your phone, label it “MovieJam 🎬”, and pin it to the top of WhatsApp so it’s one tap away. Bonus: star the latest watch pack so you can surface it any time.

Tip: If you’re sharing the bot with friends, drop the contact card into your group chat once so everyone can summon it.

Step 2

Send the perfect first prompt

The bot replies fastest when you give it human-level context. Copy/paste this template and tweak the blanks:

“Hey MovieJam, it’s ______. I’m watching with ______, mood is ______, we have ______ (Netflix/Prime/Disney+), hard no-go genres: ______. Hit me with three picks + snack ideas.”

Want TV shows instead? Mention episode length (“need 30-min episodes only”) or say “give me series not films.”

Step 3

Refine, react, and pin the final list

If a suggestion doesn’t vibe with you, reply with “swap #2 for something funnier” or “need Tamil-only dubs.” Once you love the list, star the message or forward it to your group chat so the plan doesn’t get buried.

You can also text “Friday drop” to get a proactive pack before the weekend. Premium members get it automatically.

FAQ: quick fixes

Can MovieJam handle multiple regions? Yes—just tell us your country or VPN setup so we can prioritise the right catalogs.

What if I want shows for kids / parents / date night? Mention the audience and we’ll split the playlist or send separate packs.

Will I be spammed? Nope. You only get pushes if you opt into Starter/Premium. Free users trigger chats on demand.

Try it right now

Text “Help me plan tonight’s movie” and see how fast the queue shows up. If you want the bot to nudge you every Friday, unlock the Starter pass in Pricing.
