Overview
- Recaps are debuting on iOS for a limited set of English‑language audiobooks in a beta that Spotify says will expand over time.
- The feature provides a brief summary only of the portions a listener has already heard, functioning like a TV‑style “previously on” segment.
- Listeners can tap a Recap button on supported titles, with the first summary appearing after roughly 15–20 minutes of listening.
- Spotify says the tool uses AI but will not use audiobook content for LLM training or voice generation, and it does not replace original narration.
- Developed with publishing partners, the launch follows Spotify’s earlier AI narration efforts and increased scrutiny of AI audio on the platform.
