I’ve been trying out Spotify’s new Prompted Playlist tool, and it could be a smash hit if the platform tweaks these minor issues

Back in December, Spotify launched one of its most powerful playlist creators yet: Prompted Playlists. it was initially made available in beta to Premium members in New Zealand, and following a successful trial run, it's finally expanding to the US and Canada.

Building on Spotify's AI playlist tool, which launched in April 2024, Prompted Playlists takes a similar approach but gives you full control over where you steer the algorithm. In its news blog, Spotify puts it quite simply: “You’re not just asking for music, you’re shaping how Spotify goes about discovering it for you.”
