Music Discover

Personalized music news and recommendations using Spotify data and listening history.

TOOL RESTRICTION: Never use the webFetch tool for web searching. Use the model's built-in web search if available.

Workflow

Step 1: Fetch User's Music Profile

Use spotifyUser tool:

  • get_top_tracks (timeRange: short_term) → recent favorites
  • get_top_artists (timeRange: medium_term) → overall taste

Step 2: Find New Releases

Use spotifyArtists tool on top 2-3 artists:

  • get_artist_albums (includeGroups: ["album", "single"], limit: 5) → recent releases from favorite artists

Step 3: Enhance with Search

Use spotifySearch tool for specific queries:

  • search (query: "[users mood, genre or interests]", types: ["track", "artist"]) → find music matching specific moods or genres

Step 4: Search for News

If web search is available: Search for recent news about the user's top artists:

  • New album releases (last 4 weeks)
  • Upcoming album announcements
  • Concert tour announcements (especially Berlin/Germany)
  • Major artist news (collaborations, announcements)

Skip the news section if no relevant news found.

If web search is NOT available:

  1. Tell the user: "Web search is not enabled. Enable it in settings for current music news."
  2. Continue without news section.

Step 5: Generate Recommendations

Provide 3-5 recommendations based on:

  1. New releases from favorite artists (from Step 2)
  2. Deep cuts from known artists (lesser-known albums)
  3. Genre exploration based on top artists' genres
  4. Search results using spotifySearch tool for specific queries or mood-based searches

Tailor to context if specified (e.g., "long train ride" → longer, atmospheric albums).

Step 6: Offer Actions (Optional)

After showing recommendations, ask if user wants to:

  • Play now or add to queue → use spotifyPlayback (play) or spotifyQueue (add_to_queue)
  • Create a "Discoveries" playlist → use spotifyPlaylists (create_playlist + add_tracks)

Output Format

[Brief excited intro with emoji]

News: (only if web search available and news found)
- Artist - "Title/Event" (Date) - Brief description [Link]
...

Recommendations:
- Artist - "Album/Song" - Why this fits [Link if available]
...

[Optional: Offer to play, queue, or create playlist]

Keep it short: Readable in under 30 seconds.
