On October 10, 2025, ChatGPT added direct support for Spotify so you can connect your streaming account and use natural language to manage music. This ChatGPT Spotify integration enables personalized playlists, AI powered music recommendations, and voice activated control for an effortless listening experience.

Why this matters

Streaming libraries are large and finding the right music can be time consuming. By combining a conversational assistant with your Spotify library, the experience becomes more seamless and intelligent. Instead of searching menus or tagging songs manually, you can ask the assistant in plain language and get interactive, real time results for discovery and curation.

How to connect Spotify to ChatGPT

1. Open ChatGPT and look for the Spotify app or integration option in the apps area.
2. Sign in to your Spotify account and authorize ChatGPT using the secure OAuth flow. Choose the permissions you are comfortable granting.
3. Return to ChatGPT and start a conversation. Use prompts to create playlists, request recommendations, or control playback.

Core features you can use

• Create personalized playlists by mood, activity, length, or tempo. For example say: "Build a 90 minute playlist for a rainy morning."
• Get tailored recommendations that reflect your listening history and taste for smarter music discovery.
• Interact with your library to queue tracks, add songs to playlists, or browse saved albums using simple conversation.
• Voice activated control when available in the ChatGPT mobile app for hands free playback and quick commands.

Privacy and permissions to review

The connection uses OAuth so you never give out your Spotify password. Still, check the permission scopes before authorizing. Typical scopes include reading saved tracks and playlists and creating or modifying playlists on your behalf. Review what data ChatGPT can read and what actions it can perform to keep the trade off between convenience and privacy clear.

Tips to get better results

• Be specific with intent. Use prompts that include mood, activity, duration, or instruments for more customized playlists.
• Use follow up prompts to refine output. For example ask for more upbeat songs or fewer vocals and the assistant will adjust the playlist.
• Try voice enabled prompts on mobile for a faster, more natural workflow.
• Experiment with prompts that mix podcast and music requests if you want transitions between talk and music content.

Example prompts to try

• "Make a 60 minute workout playlist with high energy pop and electronic tracks"
• "Create a cozy evening playlist with acoustic vocals and low tempo songs"
• "Recommend five artists similar to my top artists this month"
• "Add the current song to my focus playlist and queue the next three recommended tracks"
• "Build a party playlist for 25 people that lasts two hour"

Business and user implications

This integration is a practical example of how conversational AI can add value to single purpose apps. For Spotify it can increase engagement through smarter discovery. For ChatGPT it extends utility into real world actions inside other services. Expect similar integrations across travel, finance, and productivity as AI layers become more common.

Conclusion

The ChatGPT and Spotify integration delivers a next gen, interactive way to discover and manage music. To get started, review the permission request when connecting, try a few specific prompts, and refine results with follow up conversation. This will show how AI powered music discovery can make playlist creation quick, customized, and effortless.
