Spotify’s AI Playlist tool is now available in Kenya. This feature gives Premium subscribers a fun and creative way to discover and curate music. It was Initially launched in the UK and Australia but is now rolling out to over 40 new markets globally, including Kenya.
Here’s everything you need to know to get started.
What Is Spotify’s AI Playlist?
AI Playlist is a beta feature on Spotify that allows Premium users to create playlists using natural language prompts. Whether you want “Afrobeat tracks to heat up the dance floor” or “chill songs for a rainy Nairobi evening,” Spotify uses AI to build a playlist that fits your mood, activity, or even emojis you use.
It uses your listening habits, favorite genres and artists to generate playlists that feel personalized.

To use the feature, all you have to do is
- Open Spotify app on your iOS or Android device.
- Tap “Your Library” at the bottom right of the screen.
- Tap the “+” button in the top-right corner.
- Select “AI Playlist.”
- Choose a suggested prompt or type your own.
- Spotify will generate a playlist based on your input.
- Refine it using feedback like “add newer songs” or “make it more upbeat.”
- Hit “Create” to save it to Your Library.
Prompt Ideas You Can Try
Spotify encourages creativity. Here are some prompt examples:
- “Afrobeat tracks to heat up the dance floor”
