Spotify’s is giving you the keys to its recommendation algorithm with US launch of ‘Taste Profile’
Spotify launched its AI-powered 'Taste Profile' to US Premium subscribers, letting users shape music and podcast recommendations via natural language commands.
Spotify began rolling out 'Taste Profile' to Premium subscribers in the US, its largest market by traffic and revenue, for listeners ages 18 and up. The feature shows how Spotify's algorithm interprets a user's taste across music, podcasts, and audiobooks, and lets users request changes via natural language that update the Home feed within hours. It was first unveiled at SXSW in Austin in March by co-CEO Gustav Söderström and was previously in beta only in New Zealand. The feature remains in beta with no timeline for a wider rollout.
