Spotify has introduced a new feature for its annual Wrapped event: the Spotify Wrapped AI podcast. This personalized podcast, created in collaboration with Google's NotebookLM, offers users a unique audio recap of their year in music. The AI podcast features two hosts from NotebookLM who discuss the listener's favourite tracks and artists, providing a personalized narrative of how their music tastes have evolved over the year. This is made possible by NotebookLM's Audio Overviews technology, which transforms static data into dynamic audio content.
The Wrapped AI podcast is available in English for both Free and Premium Spotify users in select countries, including the U.S., U.K., Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, and Sweden. However, it is only accessible for a limited time. Users can listen to their personalized podcasts by visiting the Wrapped feed on Spotify or going to spotify.com/wrappedAIpodcast as well as share or download their podcasts.
Spotify has been leveraging AI across its platform to recommend music and podcasts based on user behaviour. The Wrapped AI podcast is another example of how Spotify is using AI to create personalized content, building on the popularity of its annual Wrapped feature, which provides users with a summary of their listening habits.
