ChatGPT Integrates Apple Music for Conversational Playlist Creation

In December 2025, OpenAI launched a specialized Apple Music integration for ChatGPT. This new feature allows users to leverage the chatbot’s natural language capabilities to curate music, discover tracks, and manage their library through conversational prompts.

Key Capabilities and Workflow

The integration functions as a dedicated app extension within ChatGPT, providing an intuitive way to interact with a vast music catalog:

• Conversational Playlist Building: Users can generate playlists by describing specific moods or themes, such as "Create a 25-track upbeat holiday rock playlist" or "Build a workout mix inspired by a high-energy synthwave aesthetic."
• Library Management: Apple Music subscribers can instantly save suggested songs, albums, and entire playlists to their library directly from the chat interface.
• Music Previews: A standout feature is the ability to listen to audio samples of recommended tracks right within ChatGPT—a functionality currently unique to this integration.
• Free Discovery: Even users without an active subscription can use the extension to search the Apple Music catalog and listen to song previews.
• Seamless Handoff: Curated content and playlists can be opened with a single click in the official Apple Music app on Mac and iOS devices.

Privacy and Data Handling

OpenAI and Apple have implemented strict privacy boundaries for this integration:

• No Read Access: ChatGPT cannot read your existing playlists or access your personal listening history. Its recommendations are based solely on your current prompts and Apple Music’s public catalog metadata.
• Explicit Authorization: Users must manually connect their Apple Account via the "Apps" section in ChatGPT settings to enable library-saving features.

Strategic Context

This integration is part of a broader expansion of ChatGPT’s "Apps" ecosystem, which officially includes high-profile partners like Adobe, Canva, Spotify, Booking.com, and Figma. It further deepens the relationship between Apple and OpenAI following the integration of ChatGPT into Siri, positioning the AI as a central interface for cross-platform digital services.
