Earlier this week, OpenAI launched<\/a> 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n Several companies have launched their interactive experiences, including Spotify<\/a>, allowing listeners to ask ChatGPT to create playlists, recommend songs, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n When you mention Spotify in your ChatGPT prompt, you\u2019ll have the option to connect your account. A button that says \u201cUse Spotify for this answer\u201d will appear at the bottom of the page. Connecting your account allows the AI to access your data, such as your likes and listening history, providing relevant context that helps generate better answers.<\/p>\n From there, you can ask it for recommendations for tracks, artists, playlists, or podcast episodes based on your tastes. <\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n During our testing, we asked it to create a dog-walking playlist but all the songs needed to have \u201cDog\u201d in the title. Here is what it came up with:<\/p>\n Tapping a suggested track or podcast episode will open the Spotify app, allowing you to listen or watch directly from there.<\/p>\n Techcrunch event<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSan Francisco<\/span> 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s important to note that when you\u2019re connecting your Spotify account, you agree to the app\u2019s privacy policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n 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 \u2014 such as what songs and podcasts you\u2019re playing, what is saved in your Spotify library, and who you follow \u2014 you\u2019re also providing your IP address and approximate location.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, you can disconnect your Spotify account at any time. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-at-11.16.56AM.png?w=680\")
