Google Gemini integrates Spotify: What users need to know

Google has added an exciting new feature to its generative AI assistant Gemini: integration with Spotify. Following the earlier introduction of YouTube Music as part of the Gemini ecosystem, Spotify is now the second music service to be supported. This development marks an important step in Google's efforts to make Gemini a versatile tool for its users' everyday lives.

 

What does the Spotify integration offer?

The current integration focuses on basic music functions such as searching and playing songs. This allows users to search for their favorite artists, albums or songs directly via Gemini and play them on Spotify. However, advanced functions such as creating playlists or launching personalized radio stations are currently still missing. It remains unclear if and when these features will be added.

 

Who can use the function?

The Spotify integration will initially only be available in English for compatible Android devices. There is currently no timetable for other platforms, languages or Google services. This means that users who use Gemini on iOS devices or in other languages will have to do without this function for the time being.

 

How the setup works

To use the Spotify integration, there are a few steps to follow:

  1. Enabling Gemini apps activity: this feature allows Gemini to interact with third-party apps such as Spotify.
  2. Authorization of Spotify: Users must authorize Gemini to connect to their Spotify account.
  3. Select preferred music service: If both Spotify and YouTube Music are linked to Gemini, the user will be prompted to specify a preferred service in the prompts.

 

What does this mean for users?

The integration of Spotify offers another way to integrate Google's generative AI into everyday life. This is particularly useful for users who already rely on Gemini to perform various tasks and use Spotify as their primary music source. By combining both services, songs can be found and played more quickly without having to open the respective app directly.

 

Limitations and outlook

Although the integration is exciting, there are still some limitations:

  • It is not possible to create playlists or launch radio stations.
  • Availability is currently limited to Android and English.
  • No concrete timetable for other languages or platforms.

 

 

The collaboration between Google and Spotify is a promising step towards closer integration of AI into everyday life. Although the features are currently still limited, the integration opens up new possibilities for music lovers who want to control their Spotify content in a simple and intuitive way via Google Gemini.
