Generative AI, aka GenAI, has taken the world by storm. It’s not new to see the GenAI features these days on multiple apps, smartphones, PCs, and other tech products. Spotify is one such app that has recently announced a GenAI-powered feature called “AI playlists.” Today, Spotify announced it is expanding the AI Playlist in beta to Premium users in more countries.
Spotify’s AI Playlist is now available in the US as part of the Beta rollout
Initially, Spotify launched the AI Playlist feature back in April this year. Back then, it was exclusively available to Premium users from the UK and Australia. Now, the feature is available to Premium users in the U.S., Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand as part of the beta rollout. To catch you up, Spotify’s AI Playlist creates a customized playlist based on the given text prompt.
You can ask AI to curate a playlist according to your mood and vibe. For example, you can enter a prompt like “Give me some funky and upbeat songs.” That’s all you have to do. Then, Spotify uses the LLM technology to get the idea and scour through your app’s search history to create a playlist that matches your prompt.
This new feature can be your song-recommending friend when Spotify’s music feed doesn’t quite show what you might be looking for. It is worth noting that the generated playlist includes 30 songs which you can re-customize with additional prompts.
Here’s how you can access the feature on Spotify
If you are a Premium user and live in the said countries, the feature can be accessed on the Spotify app by tapping on the “+” button at the top right next to your Spotify library. Once you select the “AI Playlist” option, a drop-down menu will open the chat box. That’s where you can enter the text prompts. Not to forget, the feature also provides prompt suggestions.
Currently, the AI Playlist beta is only available on Spotify’s Android and iOS apps for now. That also means the feature is not available on the Spotify desktop app or web. However, we expect the audio streaming giant to bring it all devices down the line. In related news, Spotify has recently made some changes to the Family plan to prevent the “Kids” playlists from messing with parents’ algorithms and recommendations.
