Bring your entire history

Years of ratings shouldn't go to waste. Import from the platforms you already use and get personalized recommendations from your very first minute on CatNLog.

Why import matters

The biggest challenge with any new recommendation platform is the cold start problem — without knowing your taste, the AI can only suggest popular items everyone likes. That's not personalization.

By importing your existing ratings, you skip straight to the good part. Even 50 imported ratings give our AI enough signal to build a meaningful taste profile and start surfacing hidden gems you'll love.
