ChatGPT just received one of its biggest updates, unveiling the use of apps from within the chatbot’s system. This now lets developers build tools that can be used from within ChatGPT, but also for any users to interact with a variety of apps without leaving ChatGPT.
This includes a lot of the big-name brands like Zillow and Canva, but one of the most notable additions to apps within ChatGPT is Spotify. The music streaming giant was one of the first to launch its app on ChatGPT.
What does this actually mean? Well, Spotify is now integrated into ChatGPT. When you ask ChatGPT a query that references Spotify, a button will show up allowing you to connect the two. So, what can you actually do with this?
The best of Spotify and ChatGPT
While Spotify has always been good at coming up with playlists, especially since its push into the world of AI, it can be hard to get exactly what you are after. With ChatGPT, you can get as specific as you like.
For example, “make me a Spotify playlist that consists entirely of 80s rock songs that have a joyful feel to them” or “find a podcast on Spotify that explains scientific concepts with a comedic tone.”
Trying to find and create these kinds of playlists would be a challenge directly through Spotify, but the idea is that ChatGPT can make the exploration simpler. You can also discuss your plans back and forth with ChatGPT, asking for a generated playlist to be longer, more diverse or any factor you feel needs changing.
“For best results, add details like genre, mood, or artist for music, or a topic, host, or guest for podcasts. It’s early days, so while we might not be able to deliver on every request just yet, we’ll continue to build, refine, and improve the experience over the coming weeks and months,” Spotify explained in its announcement blog post.
Keeping your data safe
This feature is currently available around the world, but has yet to come to the EU (OpenAI has said it will roll out in the EU soon). Anyone with a ChatGPT subscription can use it, whether that’s on a free or paid subscription.
Spotify has highlighted that this will be an opt-in feature and that you can disconnect at any time. Spotify also won’t share music, podcasts or any other content with OpenAI for training purposes.
This lines up with Spotify’s recent push to reduce the damaging effects of AI on the music industry, especially for artists.
