Idea
Multi-agent video recommendation platform delivering precise, adaptive, and explainable content suggestions across diverse video domains.
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper surveys the evolution of multi-agent video recommender systems that integrate specialized agents for video understanding, reasoning, and feedback. It highlights the shift from traditional single-model recommenders to coordinated multi-agent architectures, including recent large language model-powered systems, enabling more dynamic, explainable, and personalized video recommendations.
Why It Matters
Video platforms face growing complexity in user preferences and content types, making static single-model recommenders insufficient. Multi-agent systems improve recommendation accuracy and adaptability by coordinating specialized agents, enhancing user engagement and satisfaction. This approach scales across video formats and supports explainability, critical for user trust and platform growth.
Market Size (TAM)
$20–50B TAM for video recommendation platforms; $5–15B SAM from streaming, social media, and educational content providers. Driven by increasing video consumption and demand for personalized content.

Research Paper Overview
Multi-Agent Video Recommenders: Evolution, Patterns, and Open Challenges
Summary
This survey explores multi-agent video recommender systems (MAVRS) that coordinate specialized agents for video understanding, reasoning, memory, and feedback to deliver precise and explainable recommendations. It traces MAVRS evolution, presents a taxonomy of collaborative patterns, analyzes coordination mechanisms across video domains, and discusses frameworks from early MARL to recent LLM-driven architectures. The paper also highlights open challenges and future research directions in scalability, multimodal understanding, and lifelong personalization.
