/artist MF DOOM
The agent searches across MusicBrainz, Discogs, Last.fm, Genius, YouTube, and more, then renders an interactive ArtistProfile component directly in the chat. Click it to open the full profile in the Deep Cuts panel on the right.You can also ask in plain language — the agent handles both:
Who influenced Flying Lotus?
What's the story behind Donuts?
Map the LA beat scene

Save research to Deep Cuts

When the agent returns a rich component (an artist profile, influence map, playlist, or show prep package), it automatically appears in the Deep Cuts panel. The panel saves everything from your current session so you can switch between results using the dropdown selector at the top.To share a result, click Publish in the Deep Cuts header. This generates a shareable link at digcrate.app/cuts/[id] and copies it to your clipboard.
Publishing requires a Pro or Team plan. On the Free plan, results are visible only within your session.
