I’m normally a bit sceptical of AI features, Spotfy’s AI DJ is just a bit cringe if you ask me, but this latest one seems to be playing all the right notes. Just added in beta form for UK and Australian subscribers, you can enter a chatGPT style prompt and in seconds get a playlist to match the subject.

To test its knowledge and song selections, I used my co-worker Sam as a Guinea Pig. I gave the prompt “Sam is a 27-year-old guy who works at a tech company. He has tattoos and likes nice watches. Make a playlist for him.”

It came back almost instantly with a playlist brilliantly dubbed “Tech, Tattoos & Timepieces” and featured a large number of songs he knew and loved. Terrifying yes, but also great if you want to impress someone at a party.

Of course, it’s not just capable of creating playlists for specific people, but also for moods, or occasions. You can ask for a “Soundtrack to a summer party” for example and then be free to go and mingle, knowing the AI will play some suitable stuff.

After creating a playlist, you can then refine it with further instructions like “make it more upbeat” to capture the mood perfectly or just tap create and it will save automatically to your library.
