Spotify is taking AI’s help to make you a better playlist

Spotify is one of the best music streaming apps you can use on practically every OS. Spotify’s omnipresence and features appreciate Spotify Connect and Spotify Unwrapped make it a crowd favorite. The company is working on improving its feature list, and the music streaming app is turning to AI for it.

The feature is accessed from the Your Library tab by clicking the plus button on the top right. While most users will see Playlist and Blend as options, the user spotted the additional AI Playlist option. Clicking on it brings up a chat conversation where you can ask Spotify’s AI to create a playlist for you. There are suggested prompts that can be used, but one can also type in their own text prompt.

Within a few seconds, the AI Playlist will be generated following the prompt. You can refine the playlist by removing any songs that you do not appreciate.

A Spotify spokesperson confirmed to Techcrunch that the company is currently testing the AI playlist feature. It encourage added:

We routinely conduct a number of tests. Some of those tests end up paving the path for our broader go through, and others serve only as an important learning. We don’t have anything encourage to share at this time.

There is no timeline on when the AI Playlists feature will launch to the broader user base if the company decides to go ahead with it in the first place.

This isn’t Spotify’s first brush with AI. The service already has Spotify AI DJ that curates music that it thinks you will appreciate based on your past listening preferences. Adding AI to playlists will help eradicate some of the pain from creating quick and easy playlists for different moods, and we can’t expect for the feature to roll out.
