A new product has hit the market that aims to make finding the right music for a project as intuitive and simple as possible. Prompt Search, from AIMS API, allows users to quickly find music that fits exactly what they are looking for for video projects, presentations, content creation, and more. Prompt Search is built on multiple proprietary technologies which took over five years of research to complete.
AIMS API says that the key to intuitive searching is “natural language.” With Prompt Search, users can forgo traditional keywords and instead express what they are looking for by describing a scene, mood, or abstract feeling. In the video above, AIMS API uses prompts like, “snowflakes falling on a frozen lake,” and, “a lone cowboy takes in the view of the canyon” to queue music results that would fit the scene described.

“It’s fast, it’s accurate and it works like magic. Unlike other attempts at this type of music search, ours genuinely works,” says Martin Nedved, CEO and founder of AIMS API. “We are confident that once people try Prompt Search, they will not want to go back. Traditional keyword searches will always have limitations placed upon them by the humans who initially tag the music. Prompt Search removes those limitations and makes searching much more enjoyable and accurate.”
According to their press release, AIMS API claims that Prompt Search will benefit the full spectrum of the music industry, including record labels, publishers, production music catalogues, broadcasters and TV and film companies.
“It really is miraculous,” says Howie Ross, Music Taxonomy Researcher at AIMS API. “When I began experimenting with this technology, I typed in the phrase ‘tumbleweed rolling along an empty highway’. The machine immediately understood what I had in mind – a sort of Ry Cooder, Paris Texas vibe – and delivered a list of tracks that were ideal. I was amazed. I didn’t describe any instruments or moods – just scenery – and yet it was able to convert that simple command into something musical. From there I was able to skip through its suggestions until I found a track I liked. I then used Similarity Search to identify even more tracks that fitted my brief.”
Prompt Search is available to try now at aimsapi.com.
