Quick answer
Spotify has launched a beta test for an AI assistant in its mobile app, enabling users to ask questions about music, podcasts, and audiobooks.
Spotify is expanding its artificial intelligence capabilities in its mobile app by introducing a conversational assistant. The beta feature, "Talk to Spotify," enables users to ask questions about music, podcasts, and audiobooks, receiving real-time responses.
Currently, the feature is available to premium subscribers over 18 in the U.S., Ireland, and Sweden. Users can type queries into a text field, such as "How many times have I listened to Bad Bunny?" or "What podcasts are similar to this?". The service displays warnings about potential AI errors and advises against using it for sensitive data.
Spotify continues to integrate AI technologies, having previously introduced AI-DJ, automatic playlists, and filters to combat fake content. Competitors like Apple are also developing similar tools, such as Playlist Playground. Spotify has not yet commented officially on the new feature.
