Then Spotify\u2019s AI curates a playlist based on those instructions and the user\u2019s listening history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Users can also set Prompted Playlists to regularly refresh with new songs based on the same prompt, effectively allowing you to make a Discover Weekly playlist with an algorithm you control. Earlier this year, Discover Weekly playlists <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/694212\/spotify-discover-weekly-playlist-listening-controls-personalization-genres\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">got options to prioritize certain genres<\/a>, but users can\u2019t direct the playlist\u2019s algorithm beyond that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Prompted Playlists are part of a broader effort to give users more control on Spotify \u2014 the streamer\u2019s AI DJ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/665595\/spotify-ai-dj-voice-commands-feature-availability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">got a similar update<\/a> in May that allows users to give it voice prompts.
