Our company connects fans to artists, artists to venues and all of them to vendors. We are building an entire music community and need this to be one of many parts of a whole page and community site. Part of the goal is to create an all encompassing site. This project is one section of the AI pieces that we need for this site.

We will be working with students to develop an AI section that can act like an artist manager and advertising manager for musical artists.

This will involve several different steps for students, including:

• Researching different methods of scraping data for how to solve artists needs
• Understanding all the issues that new artists face as they begin their journey into the music industry
• Help the artists learn several sections of what they need to know to become successful
• Implement ways for artists to accomplish these tasks even while they have limited knowledge or experience
• Create an AI that is part teacher, part manager, part advertising expert.
• Conducting research to define the best, fastest, and least resource hungry way to accomplish these tasks we do NOT have 2 years to complete this task we have months.
• Integrate the Python AI section into the website being built
• Providing training on, updating of, and maintaining the website.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

• Testing prototypes with customers and refining ideas with feedback.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

• Understand some of the troubles new artists have in "breaking into the music industry"
• Understand how to help an artist grow their fanbase
• Understand how much of the music industry is actually business based and not music
• Learn how to use AI to solve day to day tasks for an artist
• Development of an MVP that shows an artist step by step tasks to build their business and grow their fanbase
• Recommendations for AI maintenance, and documentation

Bonus steps would include:

• Testing the AI with users and making improvements based on user input

Final deliverables should include

• An MVP prototype.
• A final report.

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

Current product understanding

Industry standard design tools and applications

Any sort of branding or styling advice

Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter

Write a reference letter for students

Provide 24 hour mentorship and access to phone support

Available for consult via zoom, email, and phone

Educational connections

Aid students in ways to get into graduate school

Provide life experience through the school of "hard knocks"

Provide military, government and life experience

Actively promoting their work and they will receive credit for any and all work performed

Regularly have 1-2 meetings a week (which the students must make time for and attend or they will be removed from the project) The meetings create an ability for us to transfer information between multiple groups and people all working on the same project so all need to know the interconnection in the project. An intern should know that they are an intern coming into an already working system and they should accommodate the working system rather than expecting the system to change for them.

We are aware students have a mass of other responsibilities and we FULLY do our utmost to work around those needs to accommodate them as much as possible.
