A real-world example

What should this subscriber watch next?

Streaming platforms lose $1.5B annually to subscriber churn driven by poor discovery. When users can't find content they enjoy within 60-90 seconds, they disengage. Collaborative filtering alone misses the content graph: genre adjacencies, creator networks, and viewing context (time of day, device, co-viewers). For a platform with 50M subscribers, a 2% engagement lift from better recommendations prevents 200K cancellations worth $24M per year.

How KumoRFM solves this

Graph-powered intelligence for media platforms

Kumo connects subscribers, content, watch history, ratings, and genres into a unified graph. The GNN learns nuanced preferences: not just 'users who watched X also watched Y,' but 'users who watched X on mobile at night in genre cluster Z tend to engage with Y-type content within 48 hours.' PQL's RANK TOP operator delivers a ranked watchlist per subscriber, updated continuously.
