DeepCut

Connect your Spotify or Tidal library and DeepCut writes the liner notes for your life in music: the chapters, the turning points, the emotional arc, in plain language. Side A is what you saved. Side B is what it kept.

Built: 2026
What it is: Software
Status: Ongoing
Our role: The idea, the design, the code. All of it.
Inside: Spotify and Tidal connections, a multi-stage AI pipeline, [stack to confirm]

How it works

You sign in through Spotify or Tidal, so DeepCut never sees your password. It reads your plays, likes and playlists over time, tags each track with keywords and a register (Defiance, Devotion, Yearning, Grief, and more), lays your listening out as a chronological ledger, and traces the emotional arc of each playlist. Then it writes.

The big decision was story over chart. A dashboard of your listening is something you squint at. Liner notes are something you read.

It's built for people who think of their library as more than a playlist.

Eshu

Point it at a house and Eshu reads eleven public records on it, then writes a careful buyer's read. When it can't find something, it says so.

Robots That Draw
