Spotify is introducing AI-driven tools that allow users to create personalized podcasts based on custom prompts or ideas, which can be saved to their Spotify library. Users can generate daily or weekly briefings on topics of interest or one-off podcasts to explore specific subjects, with options to add links, PDFs, and select custom voices. Additionally, Spotify launched a desktop app called Studio by Spotify Labs for personalized briefings and rolled out an AI-powered Q&A feature for Premium mobile users in select countries to ask questions about podcast content or get recommendations. These innovations aim to increase user interaction and content creation within the Spotify app, alongside new tools for podcast creators to manage sponsorships and subscriptions.
