Spotify has detailed its integration with Muse, the personal AI agent Meta launched earlier this month.
Listeners who connect the two services can ask Muse to play audio, save songs, and build playlists on Spotify through a conversation with the agent.
Spotify has been one of Muse‘s connectors since the agent launched on September 8, when Meta chief AI officer Alexandr Wang named it alongside Gmail, Google Calendar, OpenTable, Plaid, and others.
Spotify detailed the integration in a blog post on Wednesday (September 23), the same day Meta used its Connect keynote in Menlo Park to put the agent at the center of its product strategy.
“Enter Muse, Meta‘s new personal agent,” Spotify said. “By asking Muse to connect to Spotify, listeners have even more new ways to make Spotify work for them.
“Your agent can play music on Spotify, save songs to your Library, build playlists, help you find a book or podcast, and more – all from a conversation.”

Spotify gave the example of a road trip, with a user asking Muse to build a driving playlist inspired by their destination and to schedule it to start once they set off.
The company said users can also ask the agent to resume a podcast they started earlier, or to play a saved playlist on a connected kitchen speaker.
“You can also use Muse to create a Personal Podcast, seamlessly turning your daily briefings, notes, and ideas into audio saved right to your Spotify Library,” the company said.
Meta says users turn connectors on under Settings and then Connectors in the Muse app, or by asking the agent to connect an account.
Meta described the agent at launch as one that “doesn’t just answer questions, it actually does the work.”
The product runs on a dedicated virtual machine Meta calls Muse Secure VM, and is powered by a model the company has named Muse Spark.
“It can open a browser, fill out forms, and negotiate on their behalf,” Meta said of the agent, which launched in the US on iOS, Android, and muse.ai, with conversations also available in WhatsApp. A Mac version arrived on September 17, and the agent reached Canada the following day. The initial release is for people aged 18 and over, according to the Associated Press. That confines the Spotify tie-up to the US and Canada for now.
Meta said people “choose which apps Muse connects to and exactly how much access it gets,” and that the agent “checks with the person before sensitive actions like sending an email or making a purchase.”
For Spotify, the tie-up extends a distribution strategy that now runs through other tech companies’ AI assistants.
“Spotify is already available across more than 2,000 devices from cars, TVs, and speakers, to ChatGPT, Claude, and more, and this is the latest way we’re meeting users where they are,” the company said.
Spotify brought its recommendations into ChatGPT in October 2025, launching in 145 countries and expanding to the UK, Switzerland, and the EU that December. It struck a similar deal with Anthropic‘s Claude in April.
In July, it opened a beta that lets Premium subscribers talk to the Spotify app itself to choose what’s playing, reversing that flow.
Those features sit alongside a wider AI push at the Stockholm-based company, which launched its AI DJ in 2023 and began beta-testing its Prompted Playlist tool in December 2025.
Spotify is separately building a paid Premium add-on for AI-powered covers and remixes, and has signed licensing agreements for it with Universal Music Group in May, Merlin on August 4, and, the following week, Kobalt.
Meta‘s Muse brand has already collided with the music business more than once this year.
In July, the company disabled a Muse Image feature that let users generate AI images by referencing public Instagram accounts, following criticism from CAA and SAG-AFTRA.
The agent is also at the center of a dispute with Amazon, which cut Muse off from shopping on its site, citing data security and disclosure concerns. Users ran into the block from Sunday night (September 20).
Amazon said services that buy on a customer’s behalf, such as food delivery apps and online travel agencies, typically do so with the merchant’s agreement.
“Agentic third-party applications such as Muse have the same obligations, and we’ve requested that Meta remove Amazon from the experience,” an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement to GeekWire.
Meta has said the agent “has no visibility into people’s passwords or payment methods,” and that credentials a user shares go into secure storage.
Separately, the English rock band Muse now posts as @museband on Instagram and @musetheband on X, having used @muse on both platforms for years.
Frontman Matt Bellamy has since explained the switch, telling iHeartRadio that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg sent him “the beta version of the AI” before launch, and that the two discussed it beforehand.
“No, no. We had a chat,” Bellamy said, when asked whether Meta had simply taken the name. “He invited me to meet him, and we had a chat.”
He added: “It’s a trademark thing. So I said, ‘don’t touch music, don’t touch merchandise,’ so I can sell Muse AI T-shirts, but I can’t make a Muse AI, basically.”
Fans reported the Instagram switch in June, around three months before the agent was announced.
Spotify counted 300 million Premium subscribers and 777 million monthly active users at the close of Q2 2026, according to results published on August 4.
“And that’s just the beginning,” Spotify said of the Muse integration. “Check back for more cool ways to deepen your Spotify experience.”Music Business Worldwide
