Can ChatGPT make a Spotify playlist?

Yes, with a difference between plans. On Spotify Premium, describe what you want ("upbeat indie for a Saturday morning, no ballads") and Spotify builds a fresh, personalized set of tracks. On Spotify Free, the app picks from playlists Spotify already offers, such as Discover Weekly and New Music Friday, rather than building a new one.

Is the Spotify app in ChatGPT free?

Spotify didn't announce any charge for the app itself, and it works with both Spotify Free and Premium. Premium adds custom playlists built from your prompt. On the ChatGPT side, Spotify launched the app for logged-in Free, Plus and Pro accounts. Whether a given app shows up can still depend on your plan, region and workspace.

Can I listen to music inside ChatGPT?

Partly. Since March 23, 2026, all users can play audio previews and full podcast episodes through ChatGPT, even without logging in to Spotify. For everything else, tap a result: it opens in the Spotify app, where you can listen and watch as usual.

How do I connect or disconnect Spotify?

Mention Spotify in a prompt and follow the connect prompt, or install it from the Plugins tab (step-by-step guide). To disconnect, open Settings Plugins, select Spotify, open the account's ••• menu and choose Disconnect. You can connect again at any time.

Find music, podcasts and audiobooks and build playlists inside ChatGPT

.md Open in ChatGPT

The Spotify app is most useful when music is part of something you're already planning in ChatGPT: a road trip, a dinner party, a long run. You ask for a soundtrack in the same conversation, and Spotify answers with tracks, playlists or podcast episodes. It's also a quick way to find podcasts by topic, host or guest. Spotify says detail helps: name a genre, mood or artist for music, or a topic, host or guest for podcasts.

ChatGPT finds and suggests. Listening still happens in Spotify.

From the publisher

Spotify's app lets you ask for songs, artists, genres, playlists, podcasts and audiobooks and open them in Spotify. Premium listeners can describe a vibe and get a matching playlist, and recommendations can draw on your listening history. Spotify was one of the launch partners announced at OpenAI DevDay 2025.

What you need

A Spotify account, Free or Premium. The first time you mention Spotify in a prompt, ChatGPT asks you to connect it. Since March 23, 2026, anyone can play audio previews and full podcast episodes through ChatGPT without logging in.
Premium for made-to-order playlists. Free listeners get picks from Spotify's existing playlists, such as Discover Weekly and New Music Friday. Premium listeners can have Spotify turn a detailed prompt into a new, personalized selection of tracks.
A ChatGPT account. At launch the app worked on Free, Plus and Pro accounts, on the web and on iOS and Android.
A supported market. It launched in English in 145 countries, reached the UK, Switzerland and the EU in December 2025, and added French, Italian, German, Spanish and Portuguese in March 2026.

Good to know

Full playback happens in Spotify. Tapping a track opens the Spotify app.
Picks use your account once connected. Spotify's examples include a playlist built from the artists in your heavy rotation.
Spotify sees some ChatGPT context. OpenAI says an app you enable can use relevant parts of the conversation and, if Memory is on, your saved memories, plus basic details such as your approximate location. Spotify's terms and privacy policy apply to that data.
No training on Spotify's catalog. Spotify says it doesn't share music, podcasts or other audio and video from its platform with OpenAI for training.
Disconnecting stops future access but doesn't delete past chats or memories.

How to use

1Add it in ChatGPT
Open Spotify in ChatGPT's Plugin directory (button above), select + to add it and sign in if asked.
2Use it in a chat

Things to ask

“Spotify, recommend some laid back playlists for my road trip”
“Spotify, find podcasts about the history of jazz”

Disconnect

1Disconnect it in ChatGPT
Open Settings, then Apps or Plugins (the label depends on your rollout), select Spotify and choose Disconnect. ChatGPT stops acting through your account; past conversations aren't deleted.
