The Spotify AI Playlist generator is officially out! In case you missed the news, the streaming service has unveiled the new feature in its Beta stage in four new markets: the US, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand. Prior to this, Spotify AI Playlist was available in the UK and Australia.
And yes, it’s no surprise that Spotify pushed for release after Google rolled out a similar feature for YouTube Music users called Ask Music.
The latest addition comes a bit over a year after Spotify AI DJ. The difference is that the AI DJ is, well, a DJ – an AI-generated radio host that makes something of a private radio station based on your musical taste.
The Spotify AI Playlist creator, on the other hand, is a playlist generator that you guide using a chat box – something like ChatGPT, and yes, pretty much identical to YouTube Music’s Ask Music. Let’s talk more on what we currently know about this feature.
How to Get Spotify AI Playlist: Fast Answer
To get your Spotify AI Playlist, open your Spotify Library on your Spotify mobile app, click the “+” symbol, and go to “AI Playlist”. Then, either use pre-set prompts or type your own queries to generate the playlist. Once you’re happy, hit “Create” and the playlist will be saved to Your Library. Enjoy!
What Is Spotify AI Playlist Generator?
The Spotify AI Playlist Maker is an AI-driven chatbox that generates a playlist based on your prompt. You enter the prompt in text form only, and you will receive 30 songs that match your request.
The tech behind the AI Playlist generator likely comes from Niland, a music startup Spotify purchased in 2017.
The feature is currently available in six English-speaking markets and only accepts English prompts – with clear signs for future expansion into other languages.
How to Use Spotify AI Playlist Maker?
Let’s now explain how to use Spotify AI playlist maker. All you need is your Spotify mobile app – here’s how it’s done.

- 2. Select “Your Library” in the lower-right corner.
- 3. Tap the “+” symbol.
- 4. Select “AI Playlist”.
- 5. You might get a pop-up message inviting you to try Spotify AI Playlist. If this happens, just tap the “Try It Out” button.

- 8. Once you’re happy, tap the green “Create” button in the top-right corner, and the playlist will be saved in Your Library. Have fun!

So, to share your Spotify AI Playlist, open the playlist in Your Library, tap the three-dot symbol, select “Share” from the menu, and then “Copy link to playlist”. You can send that link to any other Spotify user.
Now, if you want to share your Spotify AI Playlist with people on other streaming services, you’ll need to use a tool like Tune My Music. We help you generate a unique link that shares a playlist across all streaming platforms.
It’s free to use for up to 500 songs, and since a Spotify AI Playlist has 30 tracks, you’re all set. Anyhow, this is how to do it.

- 2. Visit the Tune My Music Share page and hit the “Share Your Music” button.
- 3. Select Spotify as the source.
- 4. Select “Load from Spotify account” or just paste the link to the playlist into the field on the right.
- 4. If you chose the first option, grant access to Tune My Music, select your Spotify AI Playlist, and click “Share.”
- 5. Hit “Save & Share” to verify your selection.
- 6. Copy the share link that will appear on your screen and send it to users of any other major streaming service.
Spotify AI Playlist Not Showing: Common Issues
Right now, there are three main reasons why Spotify AI Playlist may not be showing to you, plus one extra point if you find the generator not working properly. Let’s cover them.
- • You Are Not in One of the Supported Countries: First things first – Spotify AI Playlist is currently only available in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland. If you are not from these areas and your subscription is not registered within them, you can’t use Spotify AI Playlist yet.
- • You Are Not a Spotify Premium User: While both iOS and Android users from the supported countries can use the Spotify AI Playlist, the feature is limited to Premium users.
- • You Are Not Using Your Spotify Mobile App: The Spotify AI Playlist is currently limited to the mobile app. Again, that’s both Android and iOS, but you can’t access the feature on your desktop app or through the Spotify web player.
- • You Are Not Using the Right Prompts: As per Spotify, non-music-related prompts won’t work with the AI Playlist generator since the feature is still in the Beta phase. Also, the streaming service has put measures in place against offensive prompts, so avoid those.
If you face additional problems with your Spotify AI Playlist, don’t hesitate to contact the official support team.

What’s the Difference Between Spotify AI Playlist and Spotify AI DJ?
