Now, the music streaming platform has officially announced expanding the AI-powered playlist generation feature to more countries.

The feature was previously only available in limited testing. It would now be available in beta to Premium users on Android and iOS devices in the US, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand.

With so much content out there, one of the big challenges is finding the right new music. Spotify’s AI playlist creation aims to address this issue.

AI Playlist brings together Spotify’s personalisation technology with generative AI. This helps users turn their creative inputs into playlists.

This feature promises a fun and easy way to curate the perfect musical mix that suits your music taste.

Spotify made the announcement about the new feature in its official Newsroom.

“Creating a playlist with AI Playlist is as easy as entering a unique prompt into the chat, like “upbeat pop music for my European summer vacation” or “a romantic playlist for date night at home.” Spotify will then offer a personalized selection of songs that match the vibe you’re going for, which you can revise and refine by typing in additional prompts.

The more specific you can be, the better. The most successful playlists are generated with prompts that contain a mix of genres, moods, artists, or decades, so get creative! You can also reference places, animals, activities, movie characters, colours, and even emojis,” Spotify informed.

For now, AI playlist generation is available exclusively to Premium subscribers using iOS and Android devices.

It is currently unclear whether free users will eventually have access to the feature.

Since the feature is currently launching in beta, we can expect changes in the way it works later based on the initial results and feedback.
