Spotify confirms test of prompt-based AI playlists feature

Spotify has been testing a new feature that allows its users to create AI-generated playlists using prompts. The feature was spotted in a TikTok video and is accessed through the “Your Library” tab in the Spotify app, where users can enter a prompt or choose from suggested prompts to initiate the playlist creation process. The company has not provided further details about the technology or a launch timeframe, emphasizing that it’s still in the testing phase. This development is part of Spotify’s broader investment in AI, including the recent launch of an AI DJ feature and CEO Daniel Ek’s hints at potential future AI-powered capabilities, such as summarizing podcasts, creating audio ads, and aiding music creation. While the official launch date for the AI-generated playlists remains uncertain, Spotify’s focus on AI continues to evolve, positioning the company as a leader in AI expertise within the music streaming industry.
