For now, Gemini AI assistant cannot create a Spotify playlist or radio

Overview

  • Google's Gemini AI assistant has rolled out a new extension that allows Spotify users on Android devices to search for and play music using natural language commands.
  • Users can request songs, albums, playlists, or music for specific moods or activities, but the feature requires a Spotify Premium subscription for playing specific tracks.
  • The integration is only available in English and requires linking Spotify and Google accounts, as well as enabling Gemini Apps Activity in settings.
  • Gemini cannot create custom playlists or radio stations on Spotify, and the extension does not currently work on iOS, the web app, or Google Messages.
  • The rollout is part of Google's broader strategy to expand Gemini's functionality across third-party apps, with Spotify being the second non-Google service to integrate after WhatsApp.
