I Built an AI Music Promotion Agent Inside My CRM – Here’s What It Can Actually DoThere’s a moment every independent artist knows well. You’re staring at a spreadsheet – or a Notion doc, or a pile of emails – trying to figure out which playlist curator to pitch next. You’ve got ten tracks. There are thousands of playlists. Some
Every playlist submission is a bet. You’re wagering your time, your relationship with a curator, and sometimes money on the belief that your track belongs on their playlist. Most of the time you’re guessing -scrolling through playlists, listening to a few tracks, going with your gut. This post is about replacing that guess with a number. The Problem With “Good
The track pipeline was the proof of concept. Download a preview, run the analysis, write thirteen numbers back to Salesforce. Repeat for every track in the catalog. The playlist pipeline is a different problem entirely. To score a submitted track against a playlist, I need to know what the playlist actually sounds like — not just its name and follower

It costs money, has a steep learning curve, and comes with the kind of bureaucratic reputation that makes developers wince. It is not, on the surface, an obvious choice for a solo musician trying to get their songs on playlists.
There’s a saying in investing: it takes money to make money. Music has its own version of that problem – it takes listeners to get listeners. If you’re an independent artist on Spotify, you already know this. I’m a software developer and a musician. When I ran into this wall, I did what any developer would do: I tried to build my way out of it.
