Amazon Music Launches New AI Playlist Generator Maestro
Amazon Music announced that Maestro, a new AI playlist generator, is now available on all Amazon Music tiers in beta for a subset of US customers using iOS and Android. Last week, I talked about in my post that Spotify started using artificial intelligence to generate new playlists and made the AI Playlist tool available in beta.

It looks like Spotify isn't the only company trying to use AI to generate playlists, and Amazon Music has hinted it will do the same or even better, according to its blog. Amazon Music says Maestro will make it easier and way more fun to build playlists you want, whenever you want. Maestro allows you to create playlists using spoken or written prompts, which can even contain emojis. Additionally, when creating a playlist, users will be able to write prompts containing activities, sounds or emotions, as well as emojis. It will even help you create any playlist you can think of, as well as the ones you can't, so users can choose from prompt suggestions at the bottom of the screen.
Meet Maestro | Amazon Music
For now, Maestro is available in the US on iOS and Android to a "subset" of free Amazon Music users, as well as Prime customers and Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers. To access Maestro, users need to have the latest version of the Amazon Music mobile app. To create an AI Playlist, users will need to tap on the Maestro option on their home screen, or when they tap on the plus sign to create a new playlist, they will also see the option to use Maestro. Additionally, Amazon says it will be available to more customers over time.
