This document describes a project to develop an AI chatbot for Spotify to provide song recommendations to users. It outlines collecting song data from Spotify's API and Kaggle to analyze song attributes. A prototype chatbot was designed to take user inputs of a song title or year to output similar songs. The document discusses technical implementation using AWS services and the business value in automating recommendations to increase user engagement. It concludes with challenges faced and potential future work.

4. What is Spotify?
● An online streaming service offering access to millions of
songs, videos and podcasts from global creators.
● Offers a free, ad-supported version or a paid premium version
without ads.
● Users can create playlists of their favorite songs or follow
“stations” to find other songs that they like.

5. Problem
● Spotify contains a vast amount of music
○ Difficulty for their users to know what to listen to next
○ Users can get into the rut of listening to the same songs
because it can be daunting to find new music
○ People know what they like and what they don’t like

9. ChatBot Design
● 1% of dataset was used for years past 1990 (236,000 rows)
● Each song was given a similarity score to every other song
based on acousticness, danceability, energy, and
instrumentalness - 617 songs included
● Prompts ask user to input:
○ Song title and outputs five similar songs
○ Year from 1995+ and output five random songs from that
year

10. AWS Services Needed
● Lambda: manages operational
activities.
● Lex: conversational interface to get
information from the user.
● Lightsail: deploy and manage our
website.
● RDS: set up, operate, and scale a
relational database.

14. Challenges Faced
● Limited to the songs within the dataset
● ChatBot algorithm might not be complex enough to accurately learn
true user preferences
● Integration with Spotify’s current website and app might be
challenging and expensive
● Similarity matrix gets exponentially larger with each song loaded

15. Future Work
● Incorporate user feedback on the recommendations provided to
improve future recommendations
● Developing a more complex ChatBot to consider factors such as
genre or lyrics to increase user satisfaction
