Create Spotify Playlists Instantly With ChatGPT AI
Spotify is taking music discovery to the next level by integrating its vast library directly into the OpenAI ChatGPT app. In a recent announcement, Spotify revealed that users can now harness the power of AI to find personalized music recommendations and even build entire playlists using simple text prompts.
This new feature is rolling out to both Android and iOS users across more than 145 countries. Getting started is simple: the first time you ask ChatGPT a music-related prompt, you'll be asked to connect your Spotify account. The integration is available to all ChatGPT users (Free, Plus, and Pro) and works with both Free and Premium Spotify accounts, though with different levels of functionality.
How It Works For You
Once connected, interacting with Spotify through ChatGPT is seamless. You can ask the AI to create a playlist for a specific mood, activity, or theme. For example, you could prompt it to "create a playlist of upbeat Latin artists" or "find new music from my favorite indie bands."
ChatGPT will process your request and present the results in a widget-like format directly within the chat. From there, you can tap on individual songs to be taken to the Spotify app to listen. If you've asked the AI to build a new playlist, a convenient "Open in Spotify" button will appear, allowing you to view and save the full playlist to your library.
Features for Free vs. Premium Users
While all users can benefit, there are some differences based on your Spotify subscription:
- Spotify Free Users: Can use ChatGPT to discover music from curated playlists like the popular Discover Weekly and New Music Friday.
- Spotify Premium Users: Get the full experience, including the ability to collaborate with the AI to generate complete, personalized playlists based on any theme or genre they can imagine.
Spotify's Expanding AI Footprint
This collaboration with OpenAI is part of a broader strategy for Spotify to integrate its service with leading AI platforms. This move follows a similar integration with Google's Gemini, where an extension for Spotify allows users on Android to play albums, artists, or playlists with voice commands. This trend highlights a growing effort to make music discovery more intuitive and conversational.
In other recent news, Spotify also finally launched its long-awaited Lossless Listening feature for Premium subscribers, offering higher-quality audio for a more refined listening experience. However, users should be mindful that this feature consumes significantly more data.
