🎵 MoodTunes — AI Chatbot That Creates Playlists Based on Your Mood

MoodTunes is an AI-powered musical assistant that chats with users, detects their emotional tone through natural language, and delivers a personalized Spotify playlist based on how they feel.

💡 Why I Built This

One of my favorite hobbies is listening to music — especially discovering new tracks that shift my mood on tough days. Music has always been more than just background noise to me; it's a tool, a form of therapy, a compass for emotions.

Music therapy is a recognized clinical practice that uses music to address emotional, cognitive, and social needs. It helps reduce anxiety, elevate mood, and connect us with ourselves and others in powerful, non-verbal ways.

As Brazilian writer and psychoanalyst Rubem Alves beautifully said:

“There are songs that carry memories of moments lived. They bring us back to the past. We remember places, objects, faces, gestures, feelings. (...) But there are songs that take us back to a past that never happened.”
— From “Na Morada das Palavras” (Papirus Editora, 2003)

That quote has always moved me deeply. Some songs heal wounds I didn’t know I had — others remind me of dreams I've never lived. That’s what inspired me to build MoodTunes: an AI that doesn’t just recommend music, but listens to your emotions — and gently delivers the perfect soundtrack to your moment.
