Tangent about music recommendations specifically, not the overall discussion...

I've played around a lot with using my own AI to generate music recommendations and build playlists.

> I don't want to use Spotify's AI. I want to use my own AI, who knows me more

It's pretty tough to beat what Spotify (or Apple, or whatever your platform is) knows about you w.r.t. listening habits and preferences. My successful experiments have involved exporting Spotify / Apple Music data into sqlite and a skill that tells my agent how to query this data.

It works pretty well! Still, I'd say it's only roughly on parity with the AI stuff Spotify is working on. The main benefit to rolling my own is being sure (at least, for now) that the recommendations aren't being corrupted by sponsored placement which I'm sure is Spotify's end goal.

I have no real point to this point, just blabbering. Have you cooked up any good solutions via rolling your own?
