Spotify recently launched a wave of new features, from an AI-powered interactive Year in Review to upgraded daily listening experiences. As the streaming platform’s annual tradition, this update isn’t just about data charts—it also introduces practical features like AI podcasts and listening parties. Let’s take a closer look at how these new tools work and what kind of experience they offer.
AI Podcast: Your Personalized Music Summary Podcast
The most talked-about addition is the Spotify Wrapped AI Podcast. This isn’t a regular podcast—it’s a conversation between two AI hosts based on your personal listening data from the past year. They analyze your music preferences and even compliment your taste. Built in partnership with Google, this feature requires you to update the Spotify app to the latest version and then head to the Wrapped page. Simply tap the top menu, select Wrapped, and you’ll find the AI Podcast entry. It talks to you like a friend, recapping your year in music.
Audiobooks & Podcasts Now Included in Year in Review
Beyond music listening history, Spotify’s new features also include audiobooks and podcasts in your annual Wrapped summary. Over the past year, the platform added a large library of audiobooks. Now, in Wrapped, you can see how many audiobooks you’ve listened to and which podcasts accompanied you the longest. This expansion makes the Year in Review more comprehensive—it’s no longer just about songs. If you enjoy listening to books or podcasts on Spotify, this data feedback will be more meaningful.
