Earlier this week, OpenAI launched a way for developers to create apps within ChatGPT, allowing users to prompt the assistant to perform tasks and answer questions directly related to participating apps.
Many companies have launched their own interactive experiences, including spotifySo listeners can ask ChatGPT to create playlists, recommend songs, and more.
When you mention Spotify in your ChatGPT prompt, you’ll have the option to connect your account. A button will appear at the bottom of the page that says “Use Spotify for this answer”. Connecting your account allows the AI to access your data, such as your likes and listening history, providing relevant context that helps generate better answers.
From there, you can ask for recommendations for tracks, artists, playlists, or podcast episodes based on your preferences.
You can be as detailed as you want in your prompts. For example, you can create a playlist with a specific mood in mind, choose the event you want the playlist for, or request to include only your most listened to artists, your top favorite genre, etc. It also asks you for a preferred length, which is helpful for planning a long road trip playlist.
During our testing, we asked it to create a dog walking playlist, but all songs were required to have “dog” in the title. Here’s what it came up with:
Tapping a suggested track or podcast episode will open the Spotify app, so you can listen or watch directly from there.

In addition to providing ChatGPT access to data – like what songs and podcasts you’re playing, what’s saved to your Spotify library, and who you follow – you’re also providing your IP address and approximate location.
However, you can disconnect your Spotify account at any time.
Additionally, Spotify Explained in a blog post It does not share artists’ and creators’ content with OpenAI for training purposes. All music, podcasts, or any other audio or video content remains secure on the platform.
The feature is available in English to all ChatGPT Free, Plus and Pro users on web and mobile in 145 countries.
