Spotifyの新AIチャットボット、あなたの聴取履歴をすべて把握
Spotifyは、米国・アイルランド・スウェーデンのプレミアムユーザー向けに「Talk to Spotify」ベータ版を開始。聴取データを活用して会話による操作やパーソナライズされたクエリに対応し、単純なレコメンデーションを超えたAIファーストのインターフェースへの転換を示している。
spotify is rolling out 'talk to spotify,' a new conversational ai feature for premium users in the us, ireland, and sweden, available on ios and android, which allows users to interact with their library and discover new content through text or voice commands within the app. the tool goes beyond standard recommendations by accessing specific user data—such as playlists, listening history, and favorite artists—to answer questions like 'when did i first hear this song?' or to generate playlists with nuanced instructions like 'play something i haven't heard before.' this integration transforms the app into a more intelligent assistant capable of handling queries about audiobook authors, podcast guest appearances, and song release dates, similar to interactions with chatgpt or gemini. by making the interface more conversational, spotify aims to address user frustration with algorithms and increase engagement, though the company admits the feature is a work in progress with potential imperfections. this beta launch signals a broader trend where media platforms use generative ai to create deeper, data-driven interactions, moving past passive playback into active, personalized dialogue.
