Spotify, renowned for its innovative AI DJ feature, is extending its technological prowess to revolutionise playlist creation.
Recently launched into beta, the platform introduces AI-driven playlists, a groundbreaking feature empowering users to curate personalised music compilations simply through written prompts. This advancement marks a significant step forward in enhancing user experience and underscores Spotify’s commitment to harnessing AI for tailored music enjoyment.
Launching initially for users on Android and iOS devices in the United Kingdom and Australia, utilising AI Playlist to craft a new playlist is effortless.
It only requires typing a distinctive prompt into the chat. Whether seeking “an indie folk playlist to give my brain a big warm hug,” “relaxing music to tide me over during allergy season,” or “a playlist that makes me feel like the main character,” AI Playlist caters to your needs.
With a blend of our robust personalization technology and AI, both novices and seasoned playlist creators can expect the ideal musical blend tailored exclusively for them.
You can use prompts that reference places, animals, activities, movie characters, colors, even emojis. The most successful playlists are generated with prompts that contain a combination of genres, moods, artists, or decades. It’s a brand-new tool, and still in beta, so we’ll continue to iterate and innovate on the experience. Stay tuned for what’s to come!
To find AI Playlist, head to the Spotify mobile app and select “Your Library” at the bottom-right corner of your screen.
-
- From Your Library, tap the “+” button at the top-right corner of the app and select “AI Playlist.”
- Select one of the suggested prompts or type your own. Get creative and be specific! For example, you could try creating “sad music for painting dying flowers” or “tracks for horse riding into the sunset.”
- Wait as we do our magic. Spotify will offer some tracks that match the vibe you’re going for.
- From there, you can easily manage the selection of songs by previewing and deleting tracks. Have notes? You can revise and refine the playlists you generate by telling AI Playlist what you’re looking for (i.e., “more pop” or “less upbeat”).
- Tap “Create,” and your new playlist will be saved automatically in Your Library.
Just like that, Spotify will help you curate a personalised playlist based on the tracks, artists, and genres we think you’ll like. While it’s designed to be fun, the tool is still in beta and won’t produce results for non-music-related prompts, like current events or specific brands. We also have measures in place around prompts that are offensive—so please prompt responsibly!
At Spotify, we aim to deliver the right piece of music for that exact moment in time. With AI Playlist in beta, we’re excited to give Premium subscribers in the U.K. and Australia a new way to discover music. Over the coming months, we look forward to continuing to iterate on this new feature to best serve our listeners.
