Spotify adds AI to Wrapped – letting you make your own podcast
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Spotify has added new artificial intelligence features to its Wrapped yearly round-up.
Alongside the more traditional tools – such as seeing your top songs, favourite genres, and how those have changed through the year – Spotify has also added new AI innovations.
That includes a personal “AI podcast” that uses Google technology to generate a fake conversation about your listening through the year.
The two automated hosts of the podcast will talk about people’s listening. It is powered by Google’s NotebookLM, which is able to take large amounts of data, sort through it and turn it into a realistic-sounding podcast.
That sits alongside other Spotify AI tools such as AI DJ. That tool was launched last year, but includes special Wrapped updates, including the ability to hear about your year’s trends as you listen to music, as well as your experience with the DJ through the year too.
Wrapped will also integrate with Spotify’s existing AI Playlist feature, so that users can generate podcasts with their Wrapped data.
