Spotify has recently introduced an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based innovative feature called the AI Playlist Generator. The tool uses AI algorithms to create user-specific customised playlists based on different prompts and preferences. This makes it a unique and efficient tool that recommends songs based on your personal choices rather than generic play-lists.
The Spotify’s AI Playlist Generator is accessible and easy to use. Users can start on their Spotify app through the ‘Your Library’ and by clicking the ‘+’ button. Subsequently, users specific their preferred genre, mood, artist combination or any other prompts and the AI will generate the custom playlist. The AI will also incorporate the user’s previous musical history. Playlists are generated swiftly and if users are not satisfied with the suggestion, they can tweak their prompts or regenerate a new playlist. After the playlist is made, users can save, customise, and share it. These personalised lists are found to be very effective in introducing new artists and songs that align with individual user preferences.
The AI Playlist Generator and the AI DJ are two separate AI-driven Spotify features. While the Playlist Generator is robust in generating a customised playlist based on prompts, the AI DJ offers a continuous stream of musical experience, playing songs, providing commentary and insights about the track being played, much like a personal radio station. However, the AI DJ currently does not support voice change options, which can potentially be an annoying feature for users.
Currently, the AI Playlist Generator is only available exclusively to Spotify Premium subscribers. While this might be disappointing for free-tier users, Spotify might consider introducing this feature to other users in the future. In essence, the feature offers an advanced, AI-driven, personalised music-listening experience by providing a custom playlist that aligns with your preferences for a perfect auditory experience.
