Spotify Unleashes AI-Powered Playlist Control
Spotify is introducing a revolutionary new beta feature, “Prompted Playlists,” designed to give users unprecedented control over their personalized music experiences. Initially rolling out this Thursday in New Zealand, this innovative feature leverages artificial intelligence to generate playlists based on user-defined prompts.

Detailed Requests, Tailored Playlists
The core functionality of Prompted Playlists allows users to type in incredibly specific instructions for their music selections. This ranges from broad requests like "create a playlist for a rainy day" to highly detailed instructions such as "build a playlist with upbeat indie pop songs from the 2010s featuring artists like Arcade Fire and The Killers." Spotify’s AI then analyzes these prompts alongside the user’s existing listening history to generate a playlist perfectly aligned with their desires.

Dynamic Refreshing for Continuous Discovery
Beyond simply creating a single playlist, users can configure Prompted Playlists to automatically refresh regularly with new songs based on the same prompt. This essentially transforms the feature into a constantly evolving, customized Discover Weekly playlist – but with the user firmly in the driver's seat, guiding the algorithm’s selections.

Expanding on Discover Weekly’s Capabilities
This new Prompted Playlists feature builds upon Spotify’s existing efforts to personalize music discovery. Earlier this year, Discover Weekly playlists were expanded to include options for genre prioritization, offering users greater influence over their weekly music selections. However, Prompted Playlists represent a significant step forward, offering a more direct and granular level of algorithmic control, allowing users to shape their listening experience with unprecedented precision.
