You can now connect your Spotify account to ChatGPT. Here’s how to do it (techcrunch.com)

OpenAI’s ChatGPT now supports a Spotify app integration that lets users link their Spotify accounts directly in a chat. When you mention Spotify in a prompt, a “Use Spotify for this answer” button appears and, after account linking, the assistant can access your likes and listening history to generate personalized recommendations, build playlists (with options for mood, event, length, artist/genre filters), suggest tracks or podcasts, and perform actions like controlling playback, adding/removing library items, and creating or editing private playlists. Tapping suggested items opens them in the Spotify app. The feature is available in English across 145 countries on web and mobile for ChatGPT Free, Plus, and Pro users; both free and premium Spotify accounts work, with premium offering more tailored results. For the AI/ML community this is a clear example of LLMs moving from static Q&A toward context-aware, action-capable assistants via third‑party app integrations. Technically, it relies on account linking and scoped data access to provide personalized recommendations and perform API-backed actions, raising important privacy and security considerations: connecting shares listening data, saved items, follow lists, IP and approximate location, and users should review the app’s privacy policy. Spotify assures creators’ content won’t be shared with OpenAI for training. The integration showcases how LLMs can consume user-specific signals to improve personalization while highlighting the need for secure authorization flows, transparent data handling, and careful model-policy safeguards.
