Architecture
How it works
Start from a release, artist, label, master, or catalog question.
The GPT calls the AetherVortex-managed Discogs proxy and reads Discogs data through the approved action.
The answer separates verified identifiers and Discogs links from analysis, heuristics, and DJ-context interpretation.
Safety
Trust boundaries
Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Discogs.
No rarity, market-price, investment, or value guarantees.
Marketplace and catalog signals can be partial, time-sensitive, and heuristic.
Beatport API data is not presented as active unless access and terms are confirmed later.
