Amazon Music is testing out a cool new feature called Maestro. It’s like having a personal DJ create playlists just for you. But for now, it’s only available to a small group of users on Amazon Music. They’re still testing it to make sure it’s just right before letting everyone try it.
Amazon Music just launched a smart feature called Maestro that uses artificial intelligence to make playlists based on what you type. Right now, it’s in a testing phase and only some people in the US can try it out. It works for everyone, including those using the free version of Amazon Music. Maestro is super smart— he even understands emojis, So, if you type emojis, it still makes a playlist that matches. This happened right after Spotify brought out its own AI Playlist maker just last week.
Amazon Music just shared the news on their website. They shared, ‘We’re thrilled to bring you a new feature that uses AI to make playlist creation simpler and more fun. Say hello to Maestro: an AI playlist maker that helps you create any playlist you can imagine—and even some you can’t .
Maestro, the AI-powered chatbot, is designed to understand and carry out tasks using natural language. According to Amazon, users can give simple or detailed instructions by typing or speaking. Amazon Music users can also use emojis to convey their preferences, either alone or alongside words. Additionally, Maestro can understand verbal commands. Amazon says it’s best to use emojis, feelings, activities, and sounds to get the most out of Maestro.
While Amazon Music is testing Maestro with beta users, they want to remind everyone that it’s still a work in progress. They say the AI might not always get the playlist perfect on the first try, so it’s okay to experiment with different prompts. Amazon has installed safeguards to prevent offensive language and inappropriate requests. If users run into anything that might ruin their experience, they’re encouraged to tell Amazon about it.
Beta users can access the feature on the mobile app’s home screen or through the plus icon for creating playlists. It’s currently available to some users in the US using Amazon Music’s Free, Prime, and Unlimited tiers on both iOS and Android. Amazon hasn’t told us when everyone can try it, but they’re working on sharing it with more people gradually. Prime members and free users can preview their playlists for 30 seconds before saving, while Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers can listen right away and save later.
