Suggestions

The Suggestions panel surfaces samples from your library based on what you’ve been doing in the session — recent searches, drags, the sample you’re playing, and the project you’re working on. It’s a faster way to keep ideas moving when you don’t know what to search for next.

How It Works

Suggestions arrive in two layers:
  • Recent moves (always-on): a row of samples acoustically similar to the last one you dragged or copied. Runs locally with no network call, so it’s there immediately when you open the panel.
  • AI-picked sections (2–4 cuts per refresh): the model looks at your recent activity, your project’s tempo and key, and what’s in your library, then invents section titles and queries on the fly — “A bass for the drop”, “Breakdown drums at 138”, “Hats to go with kick_punchy.wav”. Each cut picks the right search method for the job (vibe-based semantic search, anchor-on-a-sample similarity, or hard filters like BPM range and key). Sections that don’t have decent matches in your library are quietly dropped before they reach the panel.
The model is grounded on a snapshot of your library — top tags, top genres, BPM and key distribution — so suggestions stay in the territory your samples actually cover.

When It Refreshes

Suggestions refresh on real signals, not on a timer:
  • You open the panel
  • You commit a new prompt search
  • You drag a new sample into your DAW
  • You switch projects
  • You click the refresh button
Refreshes are debounced so rapid actions don’t burn calls. The manual refresh button always fires immediately.

Adding the Panel

The Suggestions panel auto-mounts in the Discovery layout. To add it to another layout:
  1. Open a New Tab in the dock
  2. Pick Suggestions from the panel list
  3. Drag it where you want it
You can only have one suggestions panel open at a time.

Plans and Limits

The deterministic Recent moves section works on every plan without using any AI quota. The AI-picked sections call the LLM:
  • Home Studio / Professional Suite — counted against the same fair-use limits as Prompt Search.
  • Demo Room — uses the shared starter search pool. When it runs out, the panel keeps showing Recent moves and prompts you to upgrade or add an OpenRouter key.
  • One-Time License (no subscription) — requires an OpenRouter key in Settings to use the AI-picked sections.
Pair the Suggestions panel with the Sample Browser and Similar Samples in the same layout. Audition something interesting from Suggestions, then dig further with Similar Samples — and your next set of suggestions will shift based on what you just dragged.
