YouTube Music Adds AI-Generated Playlists

The new feature is available now, as long as you’re a Premium YouTube Music subscriber.

Google is adding a new feature to YouTube Music: AI-generated playlists. The feature was announced via an X post on Monday from the official Updates From YouTube account and is now available to premium subscribers on iOS and Android. No word yet on whether the feature will make its way to the web.

If this sounds familiar, it might be because you’ve heard Spotify launch a similar feature, called Prompted Playlists, to its music-streaming service, though it certainly sounds like something AI-centric Google would have cooked up for its platform regardless of the competition.

Google’s been pushing its Gemini AI into virtually all of its products since it was released in 2023, though its presence hasn’t always been welcome, with criticisms of constant Clippy-like offers to summarize information popping up during meetings and while reading emails. Features like this, however, which enable you to create playlists based on exactly what you’re looking for, could be helpful features for music discovery.

How to create an AI playlist on YouTube Music

Creating an AI playlist is nearly as straightforward as creating a standard playlist in YouTube Music:

Tap New on the Library tab.
Select AI Playlist.
Describe the playlist you want.

Google doesn’t mention any limitations on the creation of AI playlists, so you can put specific artists in a list or just describe the type of music you want to hear on a genre level, and the Gemini-powered feature will get to work.

Google did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.
