PlaceProfile takes its first payments, powered by ProofProfile...

PlaceProfile, operated by SiliconIslands AB, processed its first live payments today. Venues can now subscribe to have the music they play measured and made readable to AI assistants for $199 a month or $1,999 a year.

The first 25 venues to subscribe pay half price for their first six months.

PlaceProfile describes 5,227,096 venues in 193 countries by the atmosphere of the music they play. When someone asks an AI assistant where to go for a quiet dinner or a lively night out, the AI assistant reads those descriptions directly.

Once a venue connects its commercial music playlist, it measures each track's audio features and timestamps them on the Bitcoin blockchain, giving AI assistants a verified record of the room to draw on when recommending places to go. Owners receive regular mail showing when AI assistants cite their venue, so they can see guests being sent their way.

Venue owners handle business music licensing.
PlaceProfile is about getting found.

PlaceProfile offers the marketing-related answer to an AI assistant answer to “where can we have a quiet romantic dinner in Stockholm”; venue owners are solely responsible for the business music licensing.
The promotional addition is already in beta testing.
As “where can we have a quiet romantic dinner in Stockholm, where the loudspeakers serve music by real human artists and as close to live performance as possible”.

ProofProfile is next

ProofProfile, the register of 2 million artists and nearly 10 million songs on which PlaceProfile’s measurements rest, will next open its paid AI service.

ProofProfile extends independently verifiable music evidence into AI agent-native discovery, intelligence, and commercial capabilities. Each capability is built on an existing asset that anyone can verify against Bitcoin.

The scale of AI in music makes that asset useful every day. ChatGPT now reaches 1.2 billion people a week, and the Gemini app passed a billion monthly users in August. Spotify is rebuilding its AI service so that AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude can act on a listener’s behalf. Suno users generate around 7 million songs a day, and fully AI-generated tracks make up 44 percent of the new music delivered to Deezer.

Every recommendation, playlist, and generated track in that flow refers back to real artists and real recordings, and ProofProfile gives each of those references a fixed point to check against.

 An AI assistant such as ChatGPT can confirm a recording before recommending it, and a music generator such as Suno can verify the recordings and artists named in a request. For each check, ProofProfile returns the record along with Bitcoin timestamps for the question and the answer.

Years later, the AI service can show exactly what it checked and when.

The same evidence applies across the music industry.

Streaming services and distributors attach it to the tracks they deliver, catalog buyers build it into due diligence, and managers and publishers timestamp what they confirmed before a deal or a claim.

Each time an AI service sells an answer that includes ProofProfile evidence, it pays ProofProfile a set percentage of that answer’s price. A recording remains in use for decades, so these micro-payments follow a verified answer for up to twenty years and more.

The price of an answer varies with the stakes of the action it supports, from one cent to one dollar. The AI agent pays within the request, at the same moment it receives the answer.

Every answer states a single fact with complete certainty, namely that a record existed in this exact form before a named and timestamped Bitcoin block.
Rights, ownership, and payouts remain with the parties who settle them, and each of them can rely on that same fact.
