> AI-powered streaming search engine to find movies and shows by scene description

ecco is a streaming discovery platform and search engine that lets you look up movies and TV shows across services using natural language descriptions. Instead of needing exact titles, you can describe memorable scenes, plot points, or actor actions. It shows where titles are available to stream along with ratings, runtimes, and video previews.
