<div id="readability-page-1"><div> Earlier this week, OpenAI launched a way for developers to build apps within ChatGPT, allowing users to prompt the assistant to perform tasks and answer questions directly related to the participating apps. Several companies have launched their interactive experiences, including Spotify, allowing listeners to ask ChatGPT to create playlists, recommend songs, and more. When you mention Spotify in your ChatGPT prompt, you’ll have the option to connect your account. A button that says “Use Spotify for this answer” will appear at the bottom of the page. Connecting your account allows the AI to access your data, like your likes and listening history, providing relevant context that helps generate better answers. <figure><img height="357" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/chatgpt-spotify.png/query-dz02ODA?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="680" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/chatgpt-spotify.png/query-dz02ODA"/><figcaption>Image Credits:Screenshot of ChatGPT</figcaption></figure> From there, you can ask it for recommendations for tracks, artists, playlists, or podcast episodes based on your tastes. You can be as detailed as you want in your prompts. For instance, you can create a playlist with a specific mood in mind, choose the event you want the playlist for, or request to include only your most listened-to artists, your top favorite genre, and so on. It also asks you for the preferred length, which is helpful for planning a long road trip playlist. During our testing, we asked it to create a dog walking playlist but all the songs needed to have “Dog” in the title. Here is what it came up with: <figure><img height="380" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot-2025-10-10-at-11.16.56AM.png/query-dz02ODA?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="680" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot-2025-10-10-at-11.16.56AM.png/query-dz02ODA"/><figcaption>Image Credits:Screenshot of ChatGPT</figcaption></figure> Tapping a suggested track or podcast episode will open the Spotify app, allowing you to listen or watch directly from there. <div> <div> Techcrunch event <div> San Francisco | October 27-29, 2025 </div> </div> </div> ChatGPT also has the capability to perform actions on your behalf within Spotify, including controlling playback, adding and removing items from your library, creating, editing, and following private playlists, and managing your following list. It’s important to note that when you’re connecting your Spotify account, you agree to the app’s privacy policy. This policy includes important information about data sharing and security, stating that if ChatGPT experiences a security breach, there is a risk that your data could be accessed by unauthorized parties. In addition to giving ChatGPT access to data — such as what songs and podcasts you’re playing, what is saved in your Spotify library, and who you follow — you’re also providing your IP address and approximate location. However, you can disconnect your Spotify account at any time. Additionally, Spotify explained in a blog post that it doesn’t share content from artists and creators with OpenAI for training purposes. All music, podcasts, or any other audio or video content on the platform stays protected. <figure><img height="373" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/spotify-chatgpt-privacy.png/query-dz02ODA?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="680" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/spotify-chatgpt-privacy.png/query-dz02ODA"/><figcaption>Image Credits:Screenshot/TechCrunch</figcaption></figure> The feature is available in English across 145 countries for all ChatGPT Free, Plus, and Pro users on web and mobile. Both free and premium Spotify users can use the integration; however, the company says premium users get a more tailored experience. Other companies have also integrated their apps into ChatGPT, including Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Expedia, Figma, and Zillow. The integrations allow you to, for example, ask Coursera to teach you something or search on Zillow for apartments in your area within a specific price range. </div></div>
