Spotify has introduced Studio by Spotify Labs, a new desktop app that uses AI to generate personalized podcasts based on users' emails, calendars, and web data. The app can create daily briefings or multi-step audio requests, saving these podcasts privately in users' Spotify libraries. This early preview, available in over 20 markets for users 18 and older, aims to compete with similar tools like Google's NotebookLM and expands Spotify's presence in AI-driven audio content. The company warns that the AI may produce errors and unreliable content as the app is still in research preview.
