Some Spotify Users Can Now ... | Hapilos

The new AI-powered "Prompted Playlist" feature will be available in beta to Spotify's premium users in New Zealand on Thursday (Dec. 11). On Wednesday (Dec. 10), Spotify announced it will now allow users to personalize their algorithm.

“Imagine a Spotify that doesn’t just passively learn from you but literally listens to you,” a company blog post reads. “For the first time, your ideas, your logic and your creativity can actually power the Spotify algorithm, directing how it thinks, adapts, and responds to you.”

As part of the rollout, the blog post introduces a feature called the “Prompted Playlist,” which will first roll out in beta to premium users in New Zealand on Thursday (Dec. 11.) Essentially, this lets users use AI to generate a playlist, a similar concept to Spotify’s recent integration with ChatGPT to allow for prompt-based music and podcast recommendations.ree

“You could ask for ‘music from my top artists from the last five years,’ then push it further with ‘and feature deep cuts I haven’t heard yet,'” the blog post continues. “Or you could request ‘high-energy pop and hip-hop for a 30-minute 5K run that keeps a steady pace before easing into relaxing songs for a cool-down,’ and layer on something like ‘include music from this year’s biggest films and most-talked-about TV shows that match my taste.’ You choose how broad or specific you want to go.”
