Spotify adds its own AI chatbot – here’s what you can do with it [Video]

Spotify is rolling out a new AI chatbot feature called 'Talk to Spotify' that allows Premium subscribers in the US, Ireland, and Sweden to use voice or text prompts to create playlists, save songs, and ask questions about music and podcasts. The feature is available in beta on the home page and Now Playing UI, supporting English only.

Spotify is rolling out yet another new AI feature, this time giving listeners the ability to talk to the music streaming app like they would an AI chatbot, giving it commands/prompts or asking questions about media. Announced today https://newsroom.spotify.com/2026-07-14/talk-to-spotify-announcement-beta/ , “Talk to Spotify” essentially puts a Gemini/ChatGPT-esque chatbot inside of Spotify’s homepage. Users can tap on this field to type or speak prompts to accomplish things such as creating playlists, saving songs, adding tracks to your queue, or asking for more information on what you’re listening to. Spotify offers up some examples of how this might be useful with the following prompt ideas: - “Play some artists I haven’t heard before” - “Add some Bad Bunny” – add: “just his recent stuff,” or “make it more upbeat” - “When was this album released?” - “What is the inspiration behind Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism?” - “What other books has this author written?” - “What other podcasts has this guest been on?” - “When did I first listen to this song?” - “What genres have I been into recently?” Other prompts include “add this to my queue,” “follow this artist,” and “save this song.” “Talk to Spotify” is available both via the home page and the “Now Playing” UI, or at least it will be. Spotify says this is rolling out “gradually” in beta, only for Premium subscribers in the US, Ireland, and Sweden and only in English . What do you think of the addition?
