Spotify has introduced a new personalization feature called Prompted Playlists, giving users greater control over the algorithm to create more deeply tailored playlists.
The Prompted Playlists feature lets users describe what they want to hear through a simple text prompt, and even set custom rules such as how frequently or when the playlist should be updated.
Spotify then draws on the user’s entire listening history to generate a truly personalized playlist. For each song recommendation, users will also get context and description on why it was chosen.
The feature also offers pre-set prompts that will create personalized playlists on Home. As of now, the Prompted Playlist feature is in beta, available only to Premium users in New Zealand, and only supports English. It is expected to roll out to more regions next year.
