Spotify just turned its entire app into a chatbot you can actually argue with about what to queue up next. Premium subscribers across the U.S., Ireland, and Sweden can type or talk to the platform through its Home and Now Playing screens on mobile, steering playback with follow-up requests like adding Bad Bunny or bumping the energy level.

The conversational tool also handles questions about albums, artists, and genres, digs into podcast and audiobook deep cuts, and pulls up personal listening history. Spotify confirmed the tech blends its in-house AI with models from several outside providers, picking whichever handles a task best.

This builds on the AI DJ that dropped a few years back and the Prompted Playlist generator that converts text into custom mixes. YouTube Music is chasing the same meta with its Ask Music feature, while Google has tested an AI host that talks between tracks.

The Stockholm outfit wrapped up its latest quarter with 761 million people hitting the platform monthly and 293 million paying subscribers, giving it a massive base to beta-test this conversational layer on.
