Set Up an Event Jukebox in Five Questions

Set up an event jukebox in five questions
When I start an event, I don't want to work through settings first. I want music. That is what the setup assistant in Juqed Go is for: five short questions, and your event is ready — playlist, rules and all.
The first one is easy. What is your name, and what are you celebrating? From "Tom" and "Birthday", Juqed Go builds the line your guests read on their phones: Birthday hosted by Tom. No code, no jargon — one sentence that tells people where they have landed.
The music is ready before anyone arrives
Step two asks for a few songs, artists or genres, and autocomplete does most of the typing. "michael ja" is enough for Michael Jackson, "firework" finds the Katy Perry track, and typing "rock" offers you the genre itself.
Juqed Go turns those few answers into a real queue — not three tracks, but enough to carry the first stretch of the evening. By the time your guests scan the QR code, music is already playing. They walk into something that is running, instead of staring at an empty list.
Nobody has to install anything. Your guests open the page in their phone browser, search for a song, and vote on what everyone else has picked. That is the whole thing.
Who plays when nobody is asking
Question three is about the auto-DJ. Should Juqed Go follow the evening so far, keep going by genre, or use your own Apple Music playlists? Choose genres and the assistant suggests them for you, based on what you typed a moment earlier. Name Katy Perry and Rock, and you are offered Pop and Rock without lifting a finger.
Then two quick ones. Is there anything that must not play tonight? And how fair should it be? Fairness comes as three presets — relaxed, balanced, strict — each with one line explaining what it means. Balanced fits nearly every party.
And then it runs
One tap on "To the music" and you are in your event. From the first question to that point takes about a minute.
You get the assistant in both: Juqed Go on the iPhone and Juqed Web in your browser. Same five questions, same order — so there is nothing to relearn if you prepare one event on a laptop and set the next one up on your phone.
None of it is locked in. Every answer sits in your settings afterwards, ready to change in the middle of the evening, as often as you like. The assistant only takes the opening decisions off your hands — so you get to the part you came for sooner: the music.
