Spotify has introduced a new AI-powered feature that lets users talk directly to the music app. The feature, called “Talk to Spotify,” began rolling out in beta on July 14, 2026. Users can speak or type on the Home screen or the Now Playing screen. Spotify then answers questions and helps them choose what to hear. (newsroom.spotify.com)
For example, a listener can ask Spotify to play cheerful music for a summer day or recommend artists they have never heard before. If the first group of songs is not quite right, the user can continue the conversation. They might ask for faster music, newer songs, or tracks by a certain artist. Users can also tell Spotify to save a song, add it to their queue, or follow an artist. (newsroom.spotify.com)
The assistant can do more than search for music. While a song is playing, users can ask about its genre, release date, or the artist’s influences. It can also answer questions about personal listening habits, such as when the user first heard a song or which genres they have recently enjoyed. The feature works with podcasts and audiobooks, too.

Spotify says the service uses information such as favorite artists, playlists, and listening history to give more personal answers. However, it is still a beta feature, so its answers may not always be correct. At present, it is gradually becoming available in English to Premium users aged 18 or older in the United States, Ireland, and Sweden. It works on both iOS and Android devices. (newsroom.spotify.com)
This new assistant could make finding music feel less like using a search tool and more like talking with a friend who understands your taste. For English learners, it may also offer a fun chance to practice simple spoken requests while discovering new music.
