I think a bit of clarification may be needed. I did a little digging. So if you can believe AI... grin

While there is no definitive, all-inclusive list of every possible chord supported by Chordify, the platform is known to detect a variety of chord qualities. These typically include the following, along with their inversions and slash chords: Supported chord types Major: The basic three-note major chord (e.g., \(C\)).Minor: The basic three-note minor chord (e.g., \(Cm\)).Dominant Seventh: A four-note chord that is common in jazz and blues (e.g., \(C7\)).Major Seventh: A four-note chord with a major quality (e.g., \(Cmaj7\)).Minor Seventh: A four-note minor chord (e.g., \(Cm7\)).Major Sixth: A major triad with an added sixth (e.g., \(C6\)).Minor Sixth: A minor triad with an added sixth (e.g., \(Cm6\)), Suspended (sus2, sus4): Chords where the third is replaced by a second or fourth, creating an open, unresolved sound (e.g., \(Csus4\)).Extended chords: Chords with notes added beyond the seventh, such as ninths and possibly elevenths.

While the AI detection works well for a majority of popular music, it does have limitations, especially with more complex genres like jazz. For example, some users have noted that the algorithm does not reliably detect augmented chords (a chord with a sharpened fifth). This highlights that the chord types available depend on the AI's ability to accurately interpret complex audio signals rather than a curated, manually selected library.

Thanks Dan. That sounds right to me. They do say there are limitations with jazz chords, and none of those examples go to a number higher than 7, what they correctly define as Extended Chords. So I think it's what this explanation does NOT say that matters.
