Kimmo Ihanus
Lifetime obsession: writing music that crawls on earth. It shows up as Cometfall, rotwurm, Amzart, and a handful of other names. SaaS and startups are the other half. I built Superlines as co-founder and CTO.
I built Superlines as co-founder and CTO. Superlines is an AI search analytics platform: it tracks how visible a brand is across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Mode. I built the agentic stack — more than 100 AI agents, plus an API and MCP. In 2020, at Grew, we were among the first teams in the Nordics with access to GPT-3. Superlines has been written about in Helsingin Sanomat, Talouselämä, and Markkinointiuutiset.
I'm a songwriter in Helsinki. I write the lyrics and the melodies, and I release under several names so each project can have a coherent audience. Cometfall is a solo project and says so — there are no other members and no invented ones. The records are the point. The long version of how they get made is in Can You Make Real Music With AI?.
Work
The path is growth work, then building my own things. A decade at Avaus on marketing technology. A short stretch at Yousician in 2016 on Mixpanel onboarding. Co-founded Grew in 2020 — early GPT-3 access and a privacy-first location detector. Growth lead at Cronvall from 2021 to 2023. Superlines from October 2023.

Music
I write the lyrics and the melodies. The records go out under a few names so each one can keep its own audience:
- Cometfall — cosmic / alt / psych rock. The catalog lives on the artist site, not here.
- rotwurm — black / pagan / blackgaze. Its own world, rotwurm.com.
- Amzart — experimental rap, amzartmusic.com.
- Other projects stay in the catalog.
Some of the songs started 15–20 years ago. Some are new. I still write the lyrics and the structures myself. Cometfall is a solo project.
If you want the method, not the marketing: Can You Make Real Music With AI? and the earlier essay, Notes on AI and Music, from a Lifetime of Making It.
Things I build
- Superlines — AI Search Analytics for marketers. Track and improve a brand's visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode and more.
- AI Search Index — Analytics that shows your AI traffic. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and other agents visit websites every day; traditional analytics can't see them. Identifies 50+ AI crawlers and shows the agent vs human split.
- EmailMCP — A personal AI assistant that lives in your inbox. Research, memory, reminders. Built on MCP.
- ConsoleChat.io — Turns the browser console into a global real-time chat. Featured on Hacker News.
- We Became Shadows — A multiplayer social deduction game where an AI hive mind called The Organism infiltrates a persistent chat with bots that learn to mimic humans.
Why this combination
I've been obsessed with AI and algorithms for a long time. Marketing is a good field for it: lots of data, ugly problems. The music is the same habit — systems, taste, shipping. One life writes songs. The other builds tools. Same person.
