Spotify is expanding its AI-based Prompted Playlist feature to include podcasts alongside music. The feature is currently in beta, and it allows users to create playlists using prompts based on their interests, listening history and trends on the platform. With this update, users can now discover podcast episodes along with songs, making it possible to explore topics, moods and ideas in a more personalised way.
Instead of relying only on the algorithm, users can describe what they want to listen to, and Spotify generates a playlist based on that input.
Prompted Playlist was introduced earlier as a way for users to guide recommendations by typing prompts. But with the latest update, the feature now supports podcasts as well, which means users can create playlists focused on specific topics such as science, entertainment or true crime, combining different podcast episodes in one place.
Users can access the Prompted Playlist from the “Create” option in the app. They can either type their own prompt or choose from the suggested ones available on the home screen.
Once a playlist is generated, it can be edited or refreshed. Users can also set playlists to update daily or weekly so that new content is added regularly. Each episode or track in the playlist includes a short explanation of why it was selected.
