The Cult of Mac: A Revolutionary Music Experience with Prism

Hello and welcome to this episode of The Cult of Mac, I'm Tracy, and today we're joined by Oliver from Prism, a game-changing device that's set to revolutionize the way you experience music at home. Oliver, thanks for being here!

So, tell us a little bit about your product and what it does. Yes, so Prism is a brain for your sound system. You can connect it to any sound system or speaker that you have, and with just one little button press, the device will automatically generate a playlist that takes into account the music that everyone around it likes. Users simply need to install an app on their iPhone, and then they'll be able to quickly create a music profile. Every time the user is around the product, it will know that it's there and will take into account the music they like to generate a playlist that will fit every mood.

One of the most interesting features of Prism is its ability to learn what users want to listen to every time. The device is able to understand the context in which music is listened to, so it can automatically know that you're in the morning before going to work, or that you just got back from a party with your girlfriend on the weekend. These are all the kinds of context that matter when you want to choose music you want to listen to, and Prism is able to detect them in order to learn what each user wants to listen to in each of those contexts.

Now, I see you're holding the device itself. Can you tell us a bit about it? Yes, this is where things get really cool. The device has a small screen on one side with two buttons - an axe (which we'll talk more about later) and a heart. If you press the play button, Prism will start playing music automatically, and as you listen to it, you can interact with the device in different ways.

So, what does the deal with the axe and the heart? Well, when Prism plays something that you like, you can just touch the heart, and it will automatically add the song to your playlist. If the device plays something that you're not really into, all you need to do is touch the cross (the axe), and it will skip to something else. These explicit interactions with the device allow it to learn and better predict what kind of music to play every time.

One of the things I find most exciting about Prism is its ability to learn and improve over time. As you interact with the device, it becomes more and more attuned to your musical tastes, so it can create playlists that are tailored specifically to you and your group. And because you don't need to use your phone or laptop to listen to music at home - just press play and Prism will start playing music - this means that you'll be able to enjoy great music in a whole new way.

So, there you have it - Prism is an incredible device that's set to revolutionize the way we experience music at home. With its ability to learn what users want to listen to and create playlists tailored specifically to their tastes, it's clear that this is going to be a game-changer in the world of sound systems. Thanks for joining us on The Cult of Mac today, Oliver!
