AI-Assisted Hymn Collection
MyJoyPal is a voice-first Christian companion designed to help seniors, especially shut-in individuals, access hymns, Scripture, sermons, and Christian encouragement through simple voice commands.
One of the core experiences of MyJoyPal is allowing seniors to say things like:
To support this vision, we are building a high-quality hymn library that is easy to search, easy to discover, and enjoyable for seniors to listen to.
This role combines musical expertise with AI-assisted content curation. AI tools will perform most of the collection work, including searching public hymn archives, downloading recordings, collecting lyrics, extracting metadata, and organizing content. Your role is not to manually search for music.
Your role is to provide the musical judgment and quality control that AI cannot provide. Think of yourself as the Music Director supervising an AI assistant.
Review AI-selected hymn recordings and determine:
Verify that AI correctly identifies hymn title, alternate titles, first-line lyrics, hymn number, composer, author, theme category, and Scripture references.
Help ensure seniors can easily find hymns by title, partial title, first line, theme (Grace, Faith, Heaven, Comfort, Christmas, Easter, etc.), and common spoken requests.
Provide recommendations to improve future AI collection efforts, including preferred recording styles, vocal arrangements, hymn sources, quality standards, and metadata conventions.
Schedule: 4–8 hours per week • Flexible schedule • Summer project (June–August)
Compensation: Project-based compensation
The goal is not simply to build a music library. The goal is to help seniors who can no longer attend church continue experiencing the hymns, Scripture, and sermons that have strengthened their faith throughout their lives.
Your work will directly shape the spiritual experience of seniors using MyJoyPal.
