You can now link your Spotify account to ChatGPT: Here’s how to do it

Earlier this week, OpenAI Fired A way for developers to create apps within ChatGPT, allowing users to ask Assistant to perform tasks and answer questions directly related to participating apps.

Many companies have launched their own interactive experiences, including Spotifyallowing listeners to ask ChatGPT to create playlists, recommend songs, and more.

When you mention Spotify in the ChatGPT prompt, you’ll have the option to link your account. A button that says “Use Spotify for this answer” will appear at the bottom of the page. Linking your account gives AI access to your data, such as likes and listening history, providing relevant context that helps create better answers.

From there, you can ask it for recommendations for tracks, artists, playlists, or podcast episodes based on your taste.

You can be as detailed as you want in your claims. For example, you can create a playlist with a specific mood in mind, choose the event you want the playlist for, request that only your most-listened-to artists, your favorite genre, etc. be included. It also asks you for your preferred length, which is useful for planning a long flight playlist.

During testing, we asked it to create a dog walking playlist but all songs had to have the word “dog” in the title. Here’s what it came with:

Tapping on a suggested track or podcast episode will open the Spotify app, allowing you to listen or watch directly from there.

ChatGPT also has the ability to perform actions on your behalf within Spotify, including controlling playback; Add and remove items from your library; Create, edit and follow your own playlists; And manage your following list.

It’s important to note that when you link your Spotify account, you agree to the app’s privacy policy.

This policy includes important information about data sharing and security, and notes that if ChatGPT experiences a security breach, there is a risk that your data could be accessed by unauthorized parties. In addition to giving ChatGPT access to data — such as the songs and podcasts you play, what’s saved to your Spotify library, and who you follow — you also provide your IP address and approximate location.

However, you can disconnect your Spotify account at any time.

In addition, Spotify He explained in a blog post They do not share content from artists and creators with OpenAI for training purposes. All music, podcasts, or any other audio or video content on the platform remains protected.

The feature is available in English in 145 countries for all ChatGPT Free, Plus, and Pro users on web and mobile.

Both free and premium Spotify users can use the integration; However, the company says premium users get a more personalized experience.

Other companies have also integrated their apps into ChatGPT, including Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Expedia, Figma, and Zillow. Integrations let you, for example, ask Coursera to teach you something or search Zillow for apartments in your area within a specific price range.
