Spotify tests a prompt-based AI playlist creator: See it in action

Spotify has confirmed that it is beta testing a prompt-based AI playlist creation tool to “turn your ideas into playlists,” and a user has shared a demo of how it works.

After typing in a few words, Spotify AI quickly creates a custom playlist.

Examples offered in the video shared on TikTok included: “get focused at work with instrumental electronica,” “fill in the silence with background café music,” “get pumped up with fun, upbeat, and positive songs” and “explore a niche genre like Witch House.”
