Spotify has unveiled a new feature, ‘Talk to Spotify,’ allowing Premium subscribers to interact with an AI chatbot for personalized music, podcast, and audiobook experiences. This beta feature enables users to make playback requests, inquire about their listening history, and explore content using natural language.
Users can engage with the chatbot by speaking or typing commands such as ‘Play some artists I haven’t heard before,’ ‘What is the inspiration behind Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism?,’ or ‘What other books has this author written?’ The AI maintains context across multiple requests, facilitating a seamless and intuitive interaction.
Currently, ‘Talk to Spotify’ is available in beta for Premium users aged 18 and over in the United States, Ireland, and Sweden, on both iOS and Android devices. Spotify emphasizes the importance of user feedback in refining this feature.
This development aligns with Spotify’s ongoing efforts to enhance user engagement through AI-driven personalization. By integrating conversational AI, Spotify aims to offer a more interactive and tailored listening experience, potentially setting a new standard in digital music services.
