Spotify is extending its reach once again, this time, into ChatGPT. From cars to TVs and even gaming consoles, Spotify has long been everywhere listeners are. Now, with its integration into ChatGPT, discovering your next favorite song or podcast has become even more intuitive and conversational.
How it works:
- Start a conversation in ChatGPT and mention Spotify in your prompt. The first time you do this, you’ll be prompted to connect your Spotify account.
- From there, simply ask for songs, artists, albums, playlists, or podcast episodes. ChatGPT will automatically bring up the Spotify app in your chat and use relevant context to accomplish the task. Alternatively, ask for recommendations based on a mood, theme, or topic, and Spotify will surface personalized picks seamlessly within the flow of your conversation.
- Tapping a track will open the Spotify app, allowing you to listen and watch directly from there.
Once connected, users can ask ChatGPT for the latest tracks from their favorite artists, curated playlists based on their listening habits, or even soundtrack suggestions that match the mood of an ongoing conversation, like planning a weekend road trip. By adding details such as genre, mood, or artist for music, or topic, host, or guest for podcasts, users can refine their requests for more accurate and enjoyable recommendations.
For Free users, Spotify in ChatGPT can pull from popular playlists like Discover Weekly and New Music Friday. Premium users, on the other hand, get an even richer experience, Spotify can now craft fresh, fully personalized playlists based on more elaborate prompts. This integration highlights Spotify’s ongoing investment in personalization technology and its blend of AI innovation with the creative curation of human editors.
Privacy and control remain top priorities. Connecting Spotify to ChatGPT is entirely opt-in, and users can connect or disconnect at any time. Importantly, Spotify emphasizes that it will not share any music, podcast, or other audio/video content with OpenAI for training purposes, ensuring creators’ work remains protected.
The Spotify app in ChatGPT is now live in English across 145 countries for all logged-in Free, Plus, and Pro ChatGPT users on both web and mobile (iOS and Android).
For listeners, it’s a new, smarter way to discover what they love. For artists and podcasters, it’s another exciting stage for global discovery.
Spotify is no longer just where you listen, it’s part of the conversation.
