P0 PROBLEM STATEMENT

  • User feedback indicates a strong need for voice-based playlist creation driven by mood to support everyday activities.
  • Currently, users must manually search for mood-based music, which is time-consuming and often fails to deliver relevant results.
  • When the music does not match their emotional state especially during moments of stress or excitement users experience frustration and cognitive overload.
  • This friction leads to irritation, app drop-offs, and reduced retention, directly impacting user engagement and revenue.

DAU & WHY BUILD THIS FEATURE?

In the Spotify context:

� A user is counted as active if they open the app and perform a meaningful action such as:

  • Playing a song or playlist
  • Using voice search to create or modify a playlist
  • Browsing or interacting with recommendations

Why DAU matters here:

� A voice-based, mood-driven playlist feature reduces friction and encourages quick, repeat usage throughout the day and directly increasing DAU, session frequency and retention, which ultimately drives revenue growth.
