Twang

Unlocking Your Perfect Playlist

Finding the right music to match your mood can be a challenge. Whether you're feeling upbeat, reflective, or somewhere in between, the Twang app is designed to help you discover the perfect soundtrack for any moment. This AI-powered tool uses a unique approach to music recommendation, making it easier than ever to find songs that truly fit your vibe.

How to Use Twang

The Twang app simplifies the process of getting personalized music recommendations. Its user-friendly interface allows you to get started in just a few clicks.

  1. Select a Mood: On the home page, you are presented with a selection of moods such as "Chill," "Pumped," "Romantic," and "Moody". Simply click the button that best describes how you are feeling.
  2. Input a Custom Vibe: For a more personalized experience, you can type your own prompt into the input field. The app’s empathetic AI is designed to understand conversational and descriptive prompts, offering a more nuanced selection of songs.

Once you provide a mood, the app fetches a list of song recommendations and a short, empathetic message that matches the emotional tone of your request.

What Powers the Recommendations?

Twang’s core strength lies in its AI backend. The application uses a chat-based AI model to process your mood prompt and generate a list of 25 popular songs that fit the described vibe. It then uses the Spotify API to find Spotify IDs for up to 15 of these songs, which are then displayed in an embedded player.

Cool Features to Try

Twang is more than just a search tool; it includes features to enhance your music discovery journey:

  • **"Gimme more!":** If you want to see more songs from your recommended list, click this button to load the next five songs from the full list of 25 recommendations.
  • **Share Your Playlist:** You can easily share your generated playlist with friends by clicking the "Share" button.
  • **Provide Feedback:** The app includes a "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" button. Your feedback helps the developers improve the recommendations for everyone. The thumbs-down feedback, in particular, sends the user prompt and recommendations to a Google Form to help improve the tool.
