The wait is finally over as the much-awaited Spotify Wrapped has dropped likewe predicted. But this time, the company has a special surprise in store for us. This year, you won’t be exploring your year in music all by yourself. Yes, there will be a couple of AI podcast hosts powered by Google’s Notebook who will join you to unravel your musical journey.
Spotify has partnered with Google this year for their Wrapped. It uses an audio overview feature that we first saw introduced with Notebook LM back in September. In a recentblog post, Spotify shared “Fans can immerse themselves in the top songs, artists, and genres that soundtracked their year, all delivered using generative AI by two dynamic hosts”.
The only bummer is that it is available for select few regions. As Spotify mentioned, “Your Spotify Wrapped AI podcast will be available in English for eligibleFree and Premium usersfor a limited time across the U.S., U.K., Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, and Sweden”.
