Spotify and ChatGPT team up to find your perfect playlist

Spotify has joined forces with ChatGPT to bring AI-powered music discovery right inside your chats. You’ll now be able to ask the AI for your favourite songs, artists, or even mood-based playlists, and it’ll instantly serve up recommendations from Spotify’s vast catalogue.

Starting today, both Free and Premium Spotify members can link their accounts to ChatGPT and get tailor-made suggestions for songs, albums, and podcasts without leaving the chat.

How to connect Spotify to ChatGPT

Step 1: Start a conversation with ChatGPT and mention Spotify. It could be as simple as, “Find me a good tech podcast to listen to on Spotify”
Step 2: ChatGPT will prompt you to connect your Spotify account
Step 3: Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the link
Step 4: Once connected, you can ask for playlists, artists, albums, or podcasts directly inside ChatGPT

Once you’re set up, Spotify will appear inside your ChatGPT app, not the other way around. You can ask for recommendations based on genre, mood, theme, or topic, and the AI will curate options accordingly. Tapping on a track or podcast will take you straight to the Spotify app.

For the best results, Spotify suggests including as many details as possible like your preferred genre, artist, or vibe for music, and topics, hosts, or guests for podcasts. Since the integration is new, responses may not always be perfect, but both Spotify and ChatGPT say the experience will improve over time.

Free-tier users will get suggestions from popular playlists such as Discover Weekly and New Music Friday. Premium users, meanwhile, can go a step further, turning detailed prompts into fully personalised playlists crafted by ChatGPT.

Spotify has confirmed that no music, podcasts, or other media will be shared with OpenAI for training purposes.

The new Spotify integration inside ChatGPT is now live in English across 145 countries, for all logged-in ChatGPT Free, Plus, and Pro users on both web and mobile (iOS and Android). Will you be using ChatGPT to create your personalised Spotify playlist? Drop a comment with your thoughts!
