introduced its own AI Playlist generator in beta.

The announcement was made via a post on Amazon's newsroom. The company said, “Today, Amazon Music announces a new feature that uses AI technology to make it easier and way more fun to build playlists you want, when you want. Meet Maestro: An AI playlist generator that helps you create any playlist you can think of—plus all the ones you can't.”

Maestro, the AI-powered Amazon, s can type a short description of what they're looking for, or make the prompt as detailed as they'd like. Amazon Music listeners can also use emojis to express what they're looking for. Emojis can be used on their own or in combination with words. Maestro also accepts verbal prompts. Amazon says good prompts should contain emojis, emotions, activities, and sounds.

Even as Amazon Music is shipping the feature to beta testers, it highlighted that Maestro is not a finished project. The company cautioned that the AI may not always get the playlist right the first time, and s should tinker around to find the right prompt to get the songs they're looking for. Additionally, the company has also implemented systems to proactively block offensive language and inappropriate prompts. s can share with the company if they come across any behaviour that might ruin the experience for everyone.

The feature can be found by beta s on the home screen of the mobile app. It is also housed within the plus icon which lets s create a new playlist. The feature is available to select s in the US across Amazon Music's Free, Prime, and Unlimited tiers on both iOS and Android. Amazon didn't specify a wider launch timeline for the feature but said that it planned to expand access to Maestro to more customers over time. While Prime and free tier s can listen to 30-second previews of their playlists before saving, Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers can listen to their playlists instantly and save it later.
