What is Hulu AI Chatbot?

The Hulu AI Chatbot is a conversational assistant built into Hulu's streaming service that helps users find content and get answers about shows and films. It provides personalised recommendations based on viewing history and preferences, offers instant answers to questions about plot, cast, and availability, and helps users handle what to watch. The tool operates as part of the Hulu platform rather than as a standalone service, making it most useful for existing subscribers who want quicker ways to discover content or get information without browsing manually.
