From Playlists to Personal

How Mood Curated Uses AI to Double Listening Time

Executive Summary

Mood Curated is an AI-powered music and audio platform that uses storytelling, mood-based curation, and tailored content to create radio-style experiences. Mood Curated was made to fix a big problem with music streaming: there isn't any audio that is really individualized and tells a story that changes with each person's mood and moment, while yet feeling like a traditional music app.

overview

The Challenge

How can we make audio experiences that are really personal and go beyond algorithmic playlists to provide listeners with connection, context, and storytelling that regular streaming can't? Streaming music is now the most popular way to listen to music, with 32% of music fans preferring streaming services. Even if they can listen to as many songs as they want, listeners face a paradox: they can listen to a lot of songs, but not very many that are unique to them.

Three-quarters of Gen Z adults currently listen to podcasts, up from 70% in 2024.

It demonstrates that they want more story-based content than just listening to music. This generation wants music that tells stories, something traditional channels don't give.
Traditional streaming gives you playlists. Mood Curated is like your own radio station that tells your story, knows how you feel, and makes audio stories that make sense.

The Solution

Mood Curated identified this gap and sought Codiste's help to assist them in building a solution that would be more than just another music player. It would be a personalized audio storytelling platform that places story, mood, and unique identity at the core of the listening experience.
