Late last year, we reported on Spotify's plans to build AI into more of its feature – and in particular, what appeared to be an incoming update to create AI-generated playlists. Spotify confirmed at the time that AI playlists were indeed being tested, and now the feature has gone live to all Premium subscribers in the UK and Australia.
The Spotify feature, which is still a beta so may be rough around the edges, enables you to create a playlist by typing in a simple prompt, much like you would on a large language model like ChatGPT. Spotify's example prompts include "an indie folk playlist to give my brain a big warm hug", "relaxing music to tide me over during allergy season" and "a playlist that makes me feel like the main character".
