Standard, Default, and Grace

Straight out of the swamps of Louisiana, by way of London (and, for reasons I can't remember, also Germany), I would like to introduce you to your newest soundsystem selector - the greatest feline DJ on the block: DR VON PEEL.

He takes a brief look at your Apple Music library to get a sense of your vibe, and then there's a chat UI. It's basically as simple as that.

You ask Dr Von Peel to spin something, the good Doctor spins it. You ask him who played drums on it, the Good Doctor will tell you, and suggest some other tracks featuring the same performer. I wanted it to feel like you're hanging out with the most knowledgeable music nerd in the world, who is also a cat.

There are non-nerdy ways to use him: My girlfriend prefers to just tell him what mood she's in, and let Dr Von Peel choose the music himself. But she doesn't know anything about real music, like Bob Dylan, for example. She just listens to dumb pop stuff. Honestly, I don't really know why she uses Dr Von Peel to do that, but that's up to her.

As a fiction author by day, I'm not made of OpenRouter credits, so while I've allocated a bit of cash for any early cat adopters (should they ever exist), you'll have to input an OpenRouter key of your own if you want to keep spinning tracks with Dr Von Peel once my cash runs out, or you run out of your allocation of free calls on my dime. Obviously your OpenRouter key doesn't get sent anywhere (except where it should) or anything like that. Ain't no malware in this swamp gumbo, bruv.
