Spotify has expanded the availability of its AI-powered playlist tool, allowing users in the U.S., Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand to create personalized playlists based on written prompts. This feature was initially launched for Premium subscribers in the U.K. and Australia.
What is the AI Playlist Tool?
The AI Playlist tool uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate customized playlists based on user input. For example, users can enter a prompt like "a romantic playlist for date night at home" and receive a selection of songs that match the mood they are looking for. This feature is currently in beta on Android and iOS devices.
How Does it Work?
To use the AI Playlist tool, users need to navigate to the "Your Library" tab on their Spotify app and select the "+" button at the top right of the screen. From there, they can choose "AI Playlist" from the menu next to "Playlist" and "Blend." Users can then enter a prompt in the text box provided, and Spotify’s AI will generate a playlist based on that input.
Customizing Your Playlist
While the AI-generated playlists are a great starting point, users can further refine their experience by adding more prompts. For instance, if you want to create a workout playlist, you could add prompts like "upbeat," "energizing," and "motivational." Spotify also provides suggestions for prompts that users can use to customize their playlists.
Benefits of the AI Playlist Tool
Spotify has reported success with the AI Playlist tool in the U.K. and Australia, where millions of playlists have been created using this feature. The company recommends mixing genres, moods, artists, and decades to create unique playlists tailored to individual tastes. Additionally, users can customize their experience by adding locations, animals, movie characters, colors, and even emojis.
