What is Cyanite.ai?

Cyanite.ai is an AI platform for music tagging and search, built for people and companies that create, publish, or license music. It analyzes audio files and extracts tags covering genre, mood, instruments, and tempo.

The platform is available both as a Web App and as an API, so individuals and larger companies can speed up their music search and catalog workflows.
