Spotify is rolling out yet another new AI feature, this time giving listeners the ability to talk to the music streaming app like they would an AI chatbot, giving it commands/prompts or asking questions about media.
Announced today, “Talk to Spotify” essentially puts a Gemini/ChatGPT-esque chatbot inside of Spotify’s homepage. Users can tap on this field to type or speak prompts to accomplish things such as creating playlists, saving songs, adding tracks to your queue, or asking for more information on what you’re listening to.
Spotify offers up some examples of how this might be useful with the following prompt ideas:
Other prompts include “add this to my queue,” “follow this artist,” and “save this song.”
“Talk to Spotify” is available both via the home page and the “Now Playing” UI, or at least it will be. Spotify says this is rolling out “gradually” in beta, only for Premium subscribers in the US, Ireland, and Sweden (and only in English).
