Most music apps recommend from genre tags, charts, and playlists someone typed by hand. Sonik listens to the actual audio. HOW IT WORKS • Swipe right on what you love, left on what you don't. • Sonik builds a personal taste model from your swipes — and trains a neural collaborative-filtering network that learns the patterns behind your choices. • A progress bar shows how far along your personal model is. The more you swipe, the more your feed is driven by your own neural fingerprint instead of generic popularity. DISCOVER • An endless, personalized deck of new tracks with instant 30-second previews. • Search any genre or artist to steer your feed. CONNECT • Compare taste with friends and see what they're into. • Share songs directly, and join a community feed to talk music, discover new creators, or produce something yourself. Songs that genuinely sound alike land close together, so your recommendations come from how music feels and sounds, not how it was labeled.
