AuxAI
A collaborative music platform that blends friends' music tastes into cohesive Spotify playlists so people don't have to worry about curation.
Overview
AuxAI helps groups turn mixed music tastes into a single, party-ready playlist. People log in with Spotify, join a room, and AuxAI aggregates everyone’s top tracks, artists, and genres to find overlap and balance. The result is a playlist that builds energy, smooths transitions, and lands directly in your Spotify library—no manual curation required.
Technical Approach
We use Spotify OAuth to pull user profiles and listening history, MongoDB to store profiles and rooms, and an Express backend to aggregate and score tracks. OpenAI assists with ordering and mood transitions while the backend calls Spotify’s API to create and populate playlists. The frontend keeps things social and live so everyone can tweak the mix before it’s finalized.
Challenges
Curation Balance
Finding the sweet spot between wildly different tastes so the playlist feels cohesive and fun for everyone.
Auth & Tokens
Managing Spotify OAuth and token refresh reliably across multiple users and devices.
Group Aggregation
Merging profiles, resolving duplicates, and weighting preferences in a way that respects all contributors.
