Ask Igor
Describe what you're in the mood for in plain words. Igor looks through your library first, then suggests what you could ask for.
Plain-language search
Type "a slow-burn thriller under two hours" and get answers instead of keyword matches.
Library titles first
Answers you already own come first, then ideas that aren't on your shelves yet.
Your own AI account
The owner connects an OpenAI or Anthropic key; nothing goes to a service until they do.
Knows what you've watched
Unless the owner turns it off, Igor sees your recent watches and the part of the library you're allowed to see.
Respects parental limits
Profiles with limits get library picks only, with no suggestions to request.
Igor is Basement’s built-in assistant. Ask a question in the box at the top of any page, or from the Ask bar on the phone and TV apps, and Igor answers from your own library before looking further afield.
It is off until the owner adds an AI provider key in Admin → Settings. The owner decides whether Igor may see the library; answers are cached, and each person can ask ten questions a minute.
