Spotify's new conversational AI is capable of playing requested tracks and responding to your music inquiries.
Spotify is introducing a new AI-driven conversational feature that allows Premium users to communicate directly with the app regarding their music preferences. Users can either type or verbally make requests and refine the outcomes through follow-up questions, thereby eliminating the need to search manually for songs, podcasts, or audiobooks.
This feature can be accessed from Spotify's Home and Now Playing screens and operates similarly to a personal audio assistant. It has the ability to select tracks, respond to inquiries about the current song or album, suggest new content, and browse through your listening history to deliver more tailored replies.
Now you can converse with Spotify: 🎧 It plays what you want 🎧 It adds what you want 🎧 It even responds to your inquiries. What will you say first? pic.twitter.com/uKajUFpA1G— Spotify (@Spotify) July 14, 2026
What can you request from Spotify?
You can ask Spotify to play new artists you haven't explored yet. Follow-up requests could involve specifying a certain artist, narrowing down to recent releases, or requesting more upbeat tracks. The assistant can also save songs, add them to your queue, or follow artists. It can provide information about the current track, such as release dates, genres, or inspirations behind specific albums.
Additionally, this feature is applicable to podcasts and audiobooks. You can ask Spotify to find more works by a particular author or locate other podcast episodes with the same guest. It can also review your listening history, allowing you to inquire about when you first played a specific song or which genres you've been recently enjoying.
This is not the first AI-oriented feature from Spotify.
Spotify has been integrating AI for some time, introducing various features across different aspects of the service. One example is the AI DJ, which curates a personalized music stream and utilizes an AI-generated voice to introduce songs and explain recommendations. The AI Playlist feature lets users create playlists based on written prompts that reflect moods, activities, or genres.
Studio by Spotify Labs allows for the generation of personalized podcasts and daily briefings tailored to a user’s listening habits. Spotify has also revealed a distinct generative AI tool designed for Premium subscribers to create licensed covers and remixes of songs by participating artists and songwriters.
The new conversational feature is currently being rolled out in beta for Premium users aged 18 and older in the US, Ireland, and Sweden. It is accessible in English through Spotify’s iOS and Android applications. Spotify notes that responses may not always be accurate during the testing phase.
