Surgify.ai

As a gym-goer, I always like listening to music that motivates me to push forward in intense workouts. This also means imagining myself in scenarios that push me forward. However, the music I listened to was limited as the bands I liked were few. I couldn't find artists that matched my desired style and rhythm, especially for my high-intensity workouts.

I then thought that I could potentially use AI-generated music to solve the problem. I started off with a small prototype for generating music based on some vibe types and kinds of workouts.
With testing, it came up with promising results. However, I noticed a missing component: I like to imagine myself either fending off hordes of enemies or climbing a mountain when working out. That's what introduced the scenario component where the music is generated based on a list of scenarios that users can select.
I tested the features out by going to the gym and using the prototype. Another flaw I noticed when testing the app was it didn't help much when there was nothing really guiding the intensity over the workout period. That is when I introduced workout sessions, which allowed the user to guide the intensity of the workout, and hence the music, throughout the session.

The entirety of the development process and the features introduced were guided by user input, but also by personal experience with my workout sessions.
