SWING MUSIC

The Project

This web-app is an AI-based music streaming service that engages in conversations with users to discern their moods and recommends music that aligns with their preferences. Furthermore, when users are experiencing negative emotions, it recommends songs capable of shifting their mood to a positive state, promoting emotional stability through an innovative music recommendation initiative.

Next time, we would...

We are interested in developing a system that not only facilitates direct verbal interactions between users and AI but also incorporates camera technology to read users' tones and facial expressions for deeper emotional analysis.
