Frequently Asked Questions

You don’t have to type anything. Each bundle contains 25 curated “crates,” and every crate represents a distinct musical vibe. When you pick a crate, our system turns that choice into a detailed vibe signature using the same research models we use inside Labs. One model interprets the crate’s mood and maps it into musical space. Another model searches the entire Spotify catalog — including the long tail — to assemble tracks that match the emotional and sonic profile of that crate. The result is an AI-generated playlist built entirely from the vibe you selected.

No. You can explore, search, and create without an account. If you choose to save a playlist, Spotify may ask you to sign in — but that step happens entirely on Spotify’s side. We never handle or store any login information.

Labs is where we explore new ideas in AI-driven music discovery. You don’t have to pick anything — it’s simply a space where we experiment, test prototypes, and study how AI can better understand musical intent and emotional texture. Visit Labs to see what we're working on.

We actively explore all 100+ million tracks on Spotify, including the long tail — rarely-heard, overlooked, niche, and genre-blurring music. Because our models are tuned to find meaning in the full catalog, we can match almost any vibe 99% of the with something that fits.
