1Spotify's new voice assistant

Spotify has launched a new beta feature called 'Talk to Spotify' for premium users. This feature allows users to control the app via voice commands or text messages. Creating playlists, learning about songs, and exploring listening history are now easier than ever.

2How it works

The feature can be accessed from the Home or Now Playing screens in the mobile app. You can give commands by pressing the microphone button in the search bar or by typing. You can make general requests like 'play some artists I haven't heard before' and then personalize it by saying 'add some Bad Bunny'.

3Effortless music discovery

When you hear a song you like, you can issue commands like 'save this song', 'add to my queue' or 'follow this artist'. You can also ask questions like 'what's the inspiration behind Dua Lipa's Radical Optimism?' to get detailed information about artists.

4Personal listening analysis

The feature can analyze users' music tastes too. Questions like 'when did I first listen to this song?' or 'what genres have I been into recently?' help you discover your personal listening habits. These insights help further personalize your music discovery.

5Podcast and audiobook support

The new feature isn't limited to music. While listening to podcasts, you can get information about guests or ask questions about audiobook authors. This provides opportunities to understand content more deeply.

6Right use of AI

Spotify's feature stands out as a genuine application of AI that enhances user experience. By making music discovery easier while offering personalization options, it provides significant value for the platform's loyal users.
