Spotify says that its users can use prompts that reference ‘places, animals, activities, movie characters, colors, and emojis’ to create a playlist. “The most successful playlists are generated with prompts that contain a combination of genres, moods, artists, or decades,” the company wrote in a blog post.

Spotify says that it is rolling out its AI Playlist feature to its Premium subscribers on Android and iOS in the United Kingdom and Australia. Also, this tool is available in beta mode to the premium subscribers, which means there is plenty of scope for improvements and tweaks. The Swedish music giant, in a blog post, announcing the development, said that it will continue to improve this feature in the coming months before rolling it out to its users globally.

How to create AI playlist on Spotify

Step 1: Open Spotify on your Android phone or iPhone.

Step 2: From Your Library, tap the “Plus” button at the top-right corner of the app.

Step 4: Select one of the suggested prompts or type your own prompt in the chat box.

Step 5: Wait for the AI to generate the playlist.

Step 6: Preview the playlist and delete the tracks that you don’t like. Users can also revise and refine the playlists by adding notes.

But this is not the first one!

Notably, this is not the first AI-powered feature that Spotify has introduced on its platform. Last year, the company introduced a new AI DJ feature that first understands a user’s taste in music to play new and old songs matching that taste when prompted. At the time of launch, this feature was available only in the UK and Ireland. Later, the company expanded it to 46 countries including the ones in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. As of now, it remains unavailable in India.
