Described are example systems and methods generally directed to systems and methods for a real-time content recommendation service employing active guidance to facilitate efficient and effective recommendations of content to a user. A plurality of characteristic information associated with content items from a corpus of content items can be obtained and used to generate a content graph and a discovery map/decision tree. The discovery maps/decision trees may include content items and/or segments of content items that are arranged and connected in the discovery maps/decision trees based on their associated characteristic information to facilitate guided recommendations of content based on user interactions. The discovery map/decision tree may then be accessed to provide guided recommendations of content.

Some implementations include methods for generating a portable entitlement for a digital asset and may include generating a portable entitlement to a digital asset based on a request initiated by a first user having an entitlement to the digital asset, the portable entitlement to enable the first user to access the digital asset using a second computing device of a second user, the request initiated using a first computing device of the first user, the portable entitlement having a limited lifetime; and terminating the second computing device from accessing the digital asset based on one or more of determining that a proximity between the first and second computing devices violate the distance threshold and the lifetime of the portable entitlement has expired.
