Diversify

The Project

Diversify is a playlist generator based on the Spofity WEB API and the Spotipy module that aims to use concepts of AI to suggest playlists based on musical preferences between multiple people.

Goals

The goal is to use AI algorithms to generate a spotify playlist based on a user's preference and a friend of his choice. Currently the script will use a genetic algorthm to generate the playlists but this may improve in the future.
