Following a successful test of its AI-driven “Prompted Playlist” feature in New Zealand and a recent launch in the U.S. and Canada, Spotify revealed on Monday that it will be introducing this tool to Premium users in the U.K., Ireland, Australia, and Sweden.

The Prompted Playlist feature enables users to generate personalized playlists by simply articulating their musical preferences in their own words. Rather than searching for specific songs or artists, users can outline the mood, circumstance, or inspiration they seek, while Spotify handles the rest.

To utilize the feature, users click “Create” and then choose “Prompted Playlist,” followed by entering any prompt in English. This feature is crafted to understand themes such as moods, aesthetics, and even experiences. Prompts can range from very general to highly specific, mentioning musical periods, genres, activities, lyrics, instruments, or even requesting a playlist themed around a TV series, film, or personal achievements. Users can also indicate whether they prefer the playlist to contain mainly new tracks or only selections from their library in the prompt.

After a prompt is put forward, Spotify’s AI curates a personalized playlist that fits the request. The system relies on the user’s listening history and blends it with contemporary music and cultural trends. In addition, each track includes a brief description explaining why it was chosen for that specific playlist.

Users can enhance their playlists by modifying their prompts or starting anew. For individuals whose musical preferences are ever-changing, playlists can be set to refresh automatically on a daily or weekly schedule.

As this feature is still in beta, Spotify indicated that adjustments may occur as the company processes feedback, and that currently there are usage restrictions. Some users have mentioned reaching limits after approximately 20 or 30 prompts.

Spotify has recently broadened its AI functionalities across its platform, including Page Match, which enables users to scan a physical book page to access the respective section in the audiobook, and About the Song. The platform also revised its song lyrics feature to include worldwide translations and offline availability. Last week, SeatGeek collaborated with Spotify to facilitate listeners in finding ticket links for concerts on an artist’s page or upcoming tour dates within the app. 

Internally, the company has integrated AI into its operations, with co-CEO Gustav Söderström stating earlier this month that Spotify’s top developers haven’t needed to write any code since December, thanks to AI.

Spotify is also enhancing its audiobook segment by moving into sales of physical books. Soon, users in the U.S. and U.K. will have the option to purchase physical editions directly through the app.
