Spotify's AI Playlist Beta Now Available in the US and Other Regions

Key Takeaways

Spotify has rolled out its AI playlist beta to the US, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand.

This feature uses generative AI to create playlists based on user text prompts.

Available exclusively to Spotify Premium subscribers.

Imagine you're in the mood for the perfect playlist for a long road trip, a cozy dinner, or just a study session, but you don’t want to spend hours manually selecting songs. Well, now, with Spotify’s AI Playlist beta, you don’t have to. This exciting new feature, now available in the US, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand, allows Spotify Premium users to generate playlists simply by typing in a text prompt.

Whether you're feeling nostalgic for 80s love songs or want a playlist full of upbeat 90s hits, Spotify's AI can whip up a playlist that suits your vibe—no more endless scrolling through tracks or skipping songs that don’t fit. It’s like having your personal DJ who just gets you.

First launched in April for Premium users in the UK and Australia, this feature has already inspired millions of unique playlists. And the best part? It’s incredibly simple. Just type in a prompt like, “Romantic 80s playlist for a candlelit dinner,” or, “Energetic pop songs for my weekend hike,” and watch as the AI brings your musical vision to life.

The more specific your prompt, the better the playlist. You can mix up moods, genres, artists, or even throw in a reference to your favorite movie characters, activities, or locations. You could even try something quirky like using emojis or colors to shape your perfect sound. And don’t worry, Spotify has taken precautions to block any offensive prompts, so the experience remains enjoyable and safe.

Once your playlist is created, you get the chance to fine-tune it. If you see a song that doesn’t match your mood, no problem—you can edit the playlist by adding extra prompts or removing tracks. This lets you really customize the music until it feels just right.
