About AI Playlists by Spotify

AI Playlist is a beta feature for Spotify Premium subscribers that leverages generative AI and Spotify's personalization technology to create custom playlists from text prompts. Users on Android and iOS in the UK and Australia can type creative prompts referencing genres, moods, artists, decades, emojis, places, or activities to instantly generate a tailored playlist. The tool allows iterative refinement (e.g., 'more pop' or 'less upbeat'), previewing and deleting tracks, and automatic saving to the user's library. It is designed for music discovery and curation, but is currently limited to music-related prompts and has safeguards against offensive content.
