At its Q3 earnings call Spotify co‑CEO Gustav Söderström said the company is positioning itself as a media service designed to be used by AI agents, emphasizing conversational access, deep personalization based on years of listening history, and integrations with assistants like Meta’s Muse, ChatGPT and Claude. He also said Spotify performs requests internally rather than sharing listener data with partner agents.
