Following in the footsteps of other businesses over the past year, Spotify is dabbling in the field of artificial intelligence prompts. AI Playlist, a new beta tool on the site, allows you to construct playlists with just a few phrases that encapsulate the desired musical mood, such “an indie folk playlist to give my brain a big warm hug.” Spotify claims that requests include animals, movie characters, colors, locations, activities, and emojis will be accepted by the AI playlist.
Spotify gives a variety of examples, such as “melancholic music for painting dying flowers” and “calm music to get me through allergy season.” For the purpose of making the perfect playlist for your vibe, it suggests combining a variety of qualities in your request.
The AI Playlist beta is available to Premium subscribers on Android and iOS devices in the United Kingdom and Australia. If you fall into that group, access it through the “+” button in the top right of your library. Click AI Playlist and choose an existing prompt or create your own. Spotify will create the playlist, and you can preview it, delete tracks, and provide notes. Once you’re happy, click Create, which will save to your library.
Spotify’s AI Playlist comes over a year after Spotify unveiled its AI DJ, which pulls together a selection of music you’re currently listening to, previously played and songs it thinks you’ll like based on your history. If the songs playing aren’t precisely what you’re in the mood for, then you can ask the DJ to switch things up.
