# Playlist Pilot > Playlist Pilot is an AI-powered Spotify playlist promotion platform that connects independent artists and labels with real, active playlist curators. It matches songs to relevant playlists by genre and audio characteristics, screens out fake or bot playlists, surfaces verified curator contacts, and generates personalized outreach pitches with AI. Playlist Pilot helps independent musicians get their music heard on Spotify. An artist submits a song; the platform analyzes its genre and audio profile, matches it to curated playlists filtered by follower range and authenticity, verifies curator contact details, and writes personalized pitch messages with AI. It runs on a subscription model with a token system for premium actions such as AI pitch generation and deep playlist analysis. Two tools are free and require no signup: a Spotify playlist bot checker and a Spotify royalty calculator. Developers and partners can access playlist matching, artist-to-genre expansion, contact extraction, bot checks, and pitch generation through a REST B2B API. ## Core Pages - [Playlist Pilot: AI Spotify Playlist Promotion](https://playlistpilotapp.com/): Homepage.
