The Challenge
Everyone loves those quizzes that tell you what kind of pizza you are. What would that feature look like in a music app like Spotify?
My solution is a feature within the app that suggests new music but gives a little more control (AI does have it’s limits)
Analysis &
Feature Plans
From research, we know that Spotify already uses AI to inform playlists like Discover Weekly, so we’ll combine that technology with a quiz to allow users to answer questions and receive an existing playlist they haven’t listened to before with a combination of songs they already enjoy and new songs we think they’ll love.
Features:
An app within an app—must match stylistically with the current Spotify interface
Multiple-choice quizzes based on topics that would encourage engagement
Short and simple questions with immediate results
Pain Points:
Current AI repeats the same songs on every personalized playlist
New playlists would flood the server, would be better to recommend existing playlists than create brand new ones with every quiz
Wireframes
App screens showing the quiz interface as well as how it would sit within the app
The Prototype
Here is the feature at the end of my design cycle. The prototype is functional and includes:
How the homepage would change
Clickable multiple-choice answers
Dashes at the top indicate progress and allow you to go back to the previous question
Results page that allows users to go directly to the playlist or to save and share.
