Called 'Talk to Spotify', this innovation allows users to explore music, podcasts and audiobooks through conversation. The feature appears on the mobile app's home screen and now playing view, working with both text and voice commands. ## Personalized Music Recommendations Spotify's AI bot provides personalized responses based on users' listening history. Analyzing favorite artists, repeat plays and playlists, it offers tailored suggestions. Users can explore music with commands like 'play some songs I haven't heard before'. ## Query Your Listening History The new feature enables users to query their listening history. You can find out when you first heard a specific song or see what genres you've been exploring recently. This provides access to personal music statistics without waiting for the annual Wrapped report. ## Get Information About Content The AI bot can also answer general questions about the content being played. Users can ask about a song's release year, learn about podcast guests' other appearances, or discover an audiobook author's other works. This offers an experience similar to chatbot services like Google's Gemini. ## Beta Version and Limitations The feature is currently in beta for Premium users aged 18+ in the US, Ireland and Sweden. Available in English on iOS and Android, Spotify warns that responses may not always be perfect and emphasizes the system is still in development. ## Spotify's Algorithm Strategy This update is part of Spotify's efforts to make the platform more personalized in response to user feedback. Having previously introduced features like Prompted Playlist, the company now takes the listener experience further with conversational AI. This move aims to position Spotify ahead in the digital music platform competition. ## Sources covering this story - https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/965358/spotify-ai-chatbot-interface-music-audiobooks-podcasts — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
