# Use cases — what to ask Aria

> What you can ask Aria. A library of high-signal prompts organized by the kind of work — strategy, release planning, track analysis, playlist research, pitch drafting, audience reads, connector actions.

The kinds of questions you can ask Aria, organized by what you're trying
to get done. Everything here works against your real Patchline data —
catalog, roster, audience, releases, connectors — so the answers are
grounded, not generic.

<TierBadge tier="all" />   Use cases work across tiers. Some specific responses are tier-gated and Aria will say so.

## The core pattern

Most high-signal Aria prompts share three parts:

1. **Verb** — what you want done ("plan," "find," "draft," "summarize").
2. **Subject** — what / who / which track ("this track," "the new
   release," "my Spotify audience").
3. **Constraint** — how / when / for whom ("for dreampop curators," "by
   next Friday," "under \$100").

The more constraints you supply, the more concrete the answer.

## Strategy & next moves

<AriaPromptCard prompt="What do I do now, and why?" />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="What's the best next move for my upcoming release?" />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Which playlist should I pitch first, and why that one?" />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="What's working in my catalog this month?" />

## Release planning

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Plan a release for 'Sleeper' — target date 6 weeks out, $0 ad budget." />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Compress my 'Late Bloom' plan into 3 weeks — release is sooner than expected." />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="What's overdue on my current releases?" />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Build a roster-level calendar for the next 60 days across all active artists." />

## Track analysis

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Describe my latest track so an AI tool can discover it." />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Which track in my catalog has the highest energy?" />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Compare 'Sleeper' and 'Late Bloom' — which is more streaming-friendly?" />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Analyze https://open.spotify.com/track/4iV5W9uYEdYUVa79Axb7Rh and tell me what's working sonically." />

## Playlist research

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Find playlists for 'Sleeper' that fit and have active curators." />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Inspect 'Bedroom Vibes' — is the curator worth pitching?" />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Which curators added Tessa or Cleo Bell recently?" />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Show me the 5 playlists most likely to add my new track based on history." />

## Pitch drafting

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Draft a pitch for 'Sleeper' to the curator of 'Lush Sounds'." />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Write a 60-second pitch grounded in the actual audio features, not generic copy." />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Draft 3 variations of a pitch — short, medium, long." />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Rewrite this pitch in a more casual tone: [paste draft]" />

## Artist intelligence

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Tell me everything about Mira's last 30 days — streaming, socials, momentum." />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Compare Tessa to her top 3 sonic peers in audience size and growth." />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Add this artist to my roster: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4LWlR8nq19v7sZ2C9CGfMR" />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Refresh intelligence for every artist in my roster." />

## A\&R discovery (Pro+)

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Find 10 emerging dreampop artists with under 50k monthly listeners." />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Show me trending hip-hop artists in Q1 with growing engagement." />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Who's making music similar to Mira that I should be following?" />

## Storefront

<AriaPromptCard prompt="How much did my storefront earn this month?" />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Which product is converting best?" />

<AriaPromptCard prompt="Suggest a price for the lossless version of 'Sleeper'." />

## Pattern: more context = sharper answer

Open-ended works: *"What do I do now, and why?"* — Aria pulls your
current state and recommends.

More context gets sharper answers: *"My release is in 3 weeks, I have
a \$50 budget, my last release got 8k streams. What's the highest-impact
thing to do this week?"*

Both work. The more constraints you supply, the more concrete the
answer.

## Pattern: ask for strategy AND triage

Aria reads the music-business knowledge graph plus your real data, so
it can do both: recommend the next move *and* shortlist work for you.

Strategy: *"What do I do this week to maximize my release momentum?"*

Triage: *"Of these 25 playlist matches, which 3 are highest priority,
and why?"*

Decision-level choices (e.g., signing a label deal) are still yours —
Aria gives you the framing and the data.

## Pattern: paste, don't paraphrase

If a curator emailed you, paste the email and ask for a draft reply.
Don't summarize — Aria sees nuance you might miss.

If a curator emailed a long message, paste the whole message — let Aria
spot the nuance.

## What Aria *won't* do

* **Send a message without your approval.** Aria drafts; you confirm.
* **Submit to Spotify editorial.** No public API for that.
* **Move money on your behalf.** Aria can summarize earnings and
  flag actions, but payouts go through Stripe directly.
