Max unveils AI-aided homepage upgrade, akin to Netflix's recent revamp, yet less troubling for users.
Max Goes AI-Powered with Homepage Redesign
Hey there, Max peeps! Prepare for a refreshing shake-up, as the streaming beast is about to get a new AI-assisted homepage makeover.
Amidst the uproar among Netflix subscribers regarding their latest UI redesign that's been criticized for being "nightmarish," Max is stepping up its game. Not to worry, Max's revamp promises a smoother and more user-friendly experience compared to the "less than stellar" Netflix revamp.
According to a recent Warner Bros. Discovery press release, Max's refreshed homepage will start rolling out in the US this week, with other regions following soon. Take a gander at the differences between the old and new designs below:

As you can see, the revamped UI has a cleaner, sleeker look, with significant changes to improve your browsing experience. The icon bar is now located on the left, while the movies and shows are neatly organized in rectangular tiles instead of the vertical layout. Speaking of similarity, the new Max homepage takes a cue from Netflix's previous interface that users seem to prefer compared to its current revamp.
When hovering over a tile in the refreshed layout, a corresponding preview video starts playing after a few seconds. While this feature may seem intrusive, fear not! Max puts control in your hands, as you can toggle this option on or off in the settings and playback menu.
In addition to the homepage overhaul, Max is taking AI integration to the next level. An in-house AI tool will soon be implemented to identify popular scenes, called "Drop-In Moments," which will be used to create more engaging previews and improve viewer engagement.
