Spotify has introduced a new feature called Personal Podcast, which lets users generate private AI-powered podcasts. These personalized podcasts can also be scheduled and will be tailored to the user’s interests and listening habits.
Users will soon be able to create these podcasts directly within the Spotify app through the new Personal Podcast feature. All they need to do is enter a text prompt describing the kind of podcast they want, and Spotify will generate a personalized episode.
As mentioned earlier, users will also have the option to schedule recurring podcasts, such as daily briefings or weekly roundups.
Users will be able to add context to generated podcasts using links, PDFs, text, and other sources. They can further tweak the prompt and even choose a different voice for the AI-generated podcast. The episodes will remain private and can be accessed through the Your Library section.
Spotify says the Personal Podcast feature will begin rolling out to Premium users in the US starting in June. Users will receive a set number of monthly credits for podcast generation, with the option to purchase additional credits if needed.
