What ChatPlaylist is
ChatPlaylist creates Spotify playlists from requests sent by text message, then returns a playlist link. Users can describe a mood, genre, activity, occasion, tempo, energy level, or other playlist idea in natural language. The service says its AI uses language models to interpret requests and select tracks using factors such as mood, genre, tempo, and energy. Prewritten prompts cover occasions including parties, workouts, road trips, and focus sessions. ChatPlaylist runs on the web and connects to Spotify; users need a Spotify account, free or premium, to access playlists. The Free plan allows three playlists and 20 messages per month. The Unlimited plan costs $2.99 a month. Playlists are automatically deleted from Spotify after five days unless users save, follow, or copy them to a personal account before they expire. The service collects phone numbers and message content and may retain recent conversation history and playlist data. Its terms say generated playlists may not match expectations and do not guarantee specific songs or artists will be available.
