Mood Muse - Emotionally Intelligent Content Discovery
What It Is
Mood Muse is an innovative web application prototype exploring the connection between a user's real-time emotional state and personalized content recommendations. Developed in just one day using exclusively AI tools as part of the "#5Days5Apps" challenge, it moves beyond traditional recommendation engines by analyzing how a user feels now to suggest books, music, movies, or activities that resonate with or help positively shift their current mood. It represents an exploration into using AI for emotional well-being and deeper content engagement.
Responsibilities
As a solo project executed within a 24-hour timeframe, my responsibilities included concept ideation, AI research, requirements definition (PRD), prompt engineering, AI tool orchestration, UI/frontend generation, and concept validation.
Technical Highlights
Multifaceted Emotional Analysis: Conceptualized multiple input methods (text, voice, face) for a richer understanding of user emotions.
Contextual Recommendations: Moves beyond past behavior to recommend content based on the user's current emotional state.
"Emotional Journey" Concept: Innovative feature designed to proactively guide users towards a desired emotional state through curated content sequences.
AI Mood Coach (Concept): Integrated AI assistant planned to offer personalized guidance and mindfulness exercises.
Rapid AI Prototyping: Entire functional UI concept developed in one day, showcasing the speed of AI-powered development.
Highlights
- Successfully developed a functional UI prototype within the 1-day challenge constraint using only AI tools.
- Demonstrated the feasibility of applying AI to interpret emotional context for personalized content discovery.
- Explored an innovative application of AI focused on emotional well-being and enhancing the human connection with creative content.
- Validated the core concept and generated interest/discussion when shared on LinkedIn.

Results
The Mood Muse prototype successfully demonstrated how AI can be used to create emotionally intelligent content discovery systems. By focusing on the user's current emotional state rather than just past behavior, it offers a more human-centered approach to recommendations. The project showcases the potential of AI not just for productivity but for enhancing emotional self-awareness and well-being through art and media.
