Spotify launches AI-powered podcast creation, Q&A, and creator monetization tools

Spotify released a GitHub-based command-line tool for Claude Code and Codex allowing users to create podcasts and save them to their library, with plans to enable podcast creation directly within the Spotify app. Users can schedule daily or weekly briefs, create one-off podcasts on topics, and add custom voices, links, PDFs, and text to generated content.

The company rolled out an AI-powered Q&A feature for Premium mobile users in the U.S., Sweden, and Ireland, letting users ask questions about episodes they are listening to or concepts mentioned in podcasts, and request podcast recommendations on specific topics.

Spotify made its creator sponsorship tool available to manage brand partnerships and added a subscription feature allowing creators to charge for exclusive content and experiences—a model already offered by Instagram, Facebook, and Snap.
