This is great. I was a big fan of the beats music service's feature that let you 'mad lib' a sentence like "I am [singing along] [with my bff] [in the car] to [pop music]" and was always let down nothing similar appeared in competing services. This feels like the next step for that kind of feature.

For about a year now I've been eagerly awaiting when this kind of thing will become available for streaming TV and movies. This christmas it really struck me how cool and convenient it would be to be able to ask a smart tv "Hey, throw on a mix of all the good Simpsons and Bob's Burgers holiday episodes." I can't imagine that's far away now, especially seeing this project! Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if at this point the hardest challenge would be somehow launching between different services to specific programs, not building the playlist itself.

Thank you! I'm just a guy who loves music and sharing it with people. It's been my dream to build something like that. Hope you find some good tunes with my project!
Just wanted to circle back and say some of my friends and I have been using this for our 'radio' at our desk on a daily basis and it's just awesome. The accuracy to the prompt isn't always 100% there, but I honestly like how much new music that's somewhat style-adjacent that kind of mismatch is introducing me to.

Hopefully we aren't running up a giant bill on your GPU instances...let me start paying for this every month!

Hey! I sent you an email about a possible collaboration. Hope to hear from you :)
Hope you can get an Spotify job offer right away
