Spotify
is
expanding
an
AI
feature
that
creates
customized
playlists
from
your
text
descriptions
to
additional
English-speaking
regions.
Starting
today,
people
in
the
US,
Canada,
Ireland,
and
New
Zealand
with
Premium
Spotify
subscriptions
(which
start
at
$5.99
per
month
for
students
or
$11.99
for
individuals)
can
access
AI
Playlist
in
beta,
following
its
initial
launch
in
the
UK
and
Australia
earlier
this
year.
Subscribers
can
locate
the
feature
within
the
mobile
app
by
tapping
the
“+”
button
at
the
top
right
of
their
Spotify
library.
Selecting
“AI
Playlist”
from
the
drop-down
menu
will
then
open
a
chat
box
to
describe
the
playlist
you
want,
such
as
“spooky
songs
to
play
during
Halloween”
or
“soothing
folk
music
for
a
chill
bath
time.”
The
feature
will
also
provide
suggested
prompts.
The
AI
Playlist
beta
isn’t
currently
available
on
the
Spotify
desktop
or
web
apps.
Here’s
a
step-by-step
guide
on
how
to
access
the
AI
Playlist
beta
on
Spotify’s
mobile
app.Image:

The
generated
playlists
contain
30
songs
and
can
be
adjusted
with
additional
prompts
to
better
match
the
desired
vibe,
such
as
asking
for
more
upbeat
music.
Descriptions
that
specify
things
like
genres,
decades,
moods,
or
artists
will
see
better
results,
but
in
my
own
testing,
I
found
it
was
impressively
capable
of
matching
songs
to
even
niche
descriptions
like
“make
me
feel
like
a
vampire
hunter
from
Blade
(1998).”
Spotify
says
it’s
still
“actively
learning
and
iterating
with
each
exchange”
while
the
feature
is
in
beta
and
may
introduce
changes
to
refine
AI
Playlist
in
the
future.
