Peacock rolled out Your Bravoverse on October 13, 2026, bringing a TikTok-style vertical video feed of Bravo content to mobile users. The feature uses an AI-generated avatar of Andy Cohen to guide viewers through personalized playlists of clips from shows like The Real Housewives and Vanderpump Rules.
What Is Your Bravoverse?
Your Bravoverse is a new mobile experience inside the Peacock app. It serves a personalized stream of short clips from Bravo shows. The feed works like TikTok or Instagram Reels. Users swipe vertically to see related clips and horizontally to explore different categories. Tapping a clip takes viewers to the full episode or season.
The feature pulls from more than 5,000 hours of Bravo footage. Shows include The Real Housewives franchise, Vanderpump Rules, Below Deck, and Love Island. Peacock says the system can create more than 600 billion possible viewing variations. Bravo fans can also find never-before-seen clips from current seasons and the Bravo archive inside the feed.
How the AI Andy Cohen Avatar Works
An AI-generated video avatar of Andy Cohen serves as the guide. The avatar appears in the lower third of the screen. It introduces clips, explains storylines, and shares insider commentary. Videos of the avatar are clearly labeled as AI-generated.
Cohen’s avatar was built using Synthesia technology in the UK. The company captured Cohen’s look, mannerisms, and voice. This builds on technology NBCUniversal used for AI coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Matt Strauss, Chairman of NBCUniversal Media Group, called the feature a “first-of-its-kind experience for NBCU content — pairing our deep Bravo library with agentic and gen AI to create a personalized experience at scale, built in collaboration with Andy Cohen.”
Cohen shared his thoughts on the AI avatar at SXSW in March 2026.
“It’s really cool. First of all, I love my AI guy, because you can tell he’s AI, which I think is actually really important. I think if it was a complete deep fake, it could be, you know, weird. So I think it’s clear you’re watching an AI version. But he actually has all the information and he will tell you whatever you want to know. So it’s like, just put a quarter in me and I’ll go.”
How the Personalization Works
Users start by entering their name. They then select their favorite Bravo shows. Next, they choose themes they enjoy, such as “OMG Moments” or “All the Feels” storylines. The system then builds a custom playlist.
The technology uses computer vision to identify key storylines and moments across the Bravo library. AI agents trained on Bravo fan behavior help determine what viewers care about most. Peacock says the playlists refresh regularly based on user engagement.
John Jelley, NBCUniversal’s senior vice president of product, explained the approach to reporters.
“We’ve used AI and an AI agent that we’ve trained on what Bravo fans care about. There might be tens of thousands of clips and moments and metadata, but we know that fans love an explosive walk-out.”

Fan Reactions to the AI Andy Cohen
Not all Bravo fans are happy about the AI feature. Social media reactions after the March announcement showed mixed feelings.
One user on X, @DuBarrysLady, wrote: “Yet we’re getting AI Andy Cohen slop.”
Another X user, @odusanyatoheeb2, said: “We’ve reached the point where we’d rather hear fake gossip from a machine than face our own boring lives. If you need an algorithm to tell you who to hate this week, the ‘tea’ isn’t the only thing that’s artificial.”
Reddit user u/whatsupeveryone34 commented: “I didn’t NEED another reason to not be a subscriber, but here we are. Congratulations to NBC for their continued success at making me completely uninterested in their product.”
