This is the main station we built for daily life at home. It draws from more than 30 playlists across different genres, but all of it is curated around what my wife and I actually enjoy. We are both from Argentina, so there is plenty of music from there alongside classics, famous pop songs, older material, and newer discoveries.

About NeuralCast
This started at home, with a radio and a simple problem: choosing what to listen to.
My wife and I wanted to listen to more music at home, but choosing what to play always got in the way. We kept coming back to the same things. What we missed was the ease of radio: you turn it on, and something is already playing.
Philosophy
How it really began
We bought a radio for the house and started exploring internet radio. I loved the idea that we could listen to stations from anywhere in the world, including online-only ones.
What I wanted was varied, well-known music across different genres. A lot of what I found was interesting, but often too niche or simply not something we wanted on all day at home.
I started small with a few old MP3s I still had, just to see if the idea worked. It quickly became obvious that it would not scale, but by then I was already deep in the rabbit hole.
The why
What made this project click was that it solved a real problem and an AI curiosity at the same time.
At that time I was very interested in building something meaningful with AI. I was actively looking for problems that could be approached with it, and this one fit perfectly because it was already part of our daily life.
So the project grew into a fully automated system where playlists are generated by AI with my guidance, constraints, and taste steering the outcome. I wanted to build something ambitious, but also something we would actually use every day.
How it works
What the stations are
I also really love metal and hard rock, but my wife definitely does not want that as part of the all-day household soundtrack. So I made a separate stream for that side of my taste.
The AI host gives both stations a voice of their own. The AI host is a key part of NeuralCast and NeuralForge. Between songs, it introduces the music, shares stories about artists and albums, and gives a taste of what is coming next. It brings personality and context to the listening experience, with a style that fits each station.
Looking ahead
This is still a living project, and it is not finished.
I keep refining the music selection and the AI host as we listen every day. Both stations continue to take shape through new discoveries, ideas, and the small details that make radio worth coming back to.
