Personalized AI recommendations on the Home Screen
Roku credited its AI recommendation row with increasing viewing and subscription signups
Problem
Viewers had to discover programs spread across streaming apps. Recommendations within an individual service covered only that service's library.
Approach
Roku launched a content row on its Home Screen in 2024. It used AI to personalize recommendations across streaming apps on the platform. Roku later said the feature helped increase streaming hours and subscription signups.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
The recommendation surface crossed app boundaries. Roku did not disclose a separate numerical lift attributable to the row.
