Highlights
- Google Gemini could soon support Spotify, enabling users to control music playback.

- Google continues to enhance Gemini, adding new functionalities and integrations.
- The Spotify extension for Gemini is still in early testing stages, with no confirmed release date.
Google’s newest AI assistant, Gemini, was launched at the beginning of the year and has been growing bit by bit.
While it began with very basic capabilities, the tech giant seems to be hell-bent on making Gemini a complete virtual assistant.
The latest step in that direction might be getting Spotify, the well-known music and audiobook streaming service, on board.
Spotify Extension May Be Coming to Gemini
In a fresh discovery, Android Authority reports that its app teardown has found some code strings within the Google app that suggest a Spotify extension may be in the offing for Gemini.
This is the exact bit of code:
<code><string =”assistant_robin_action_spotify_tap_snackbar”>Starting to play on Spotify</strings>
<string =”assistant_robin_action_spotify_signin_error”>Spotify requires sign in</strings></code>
These bits of code indicate that it could soon allow users to log into their Spotify accounts and even control playback directly from the AI assistant.
Now, to be really honest with you, finding lines of code doesn’t guarantee that the feature will be made widely available shortly.
These things take time, and Google likely is still testing everything at an early stage right now.
But hey, at least it’s good to see the Mountain View-based company working hard to turn Gemini into a complete all-in-one hub for your digital life, along with your favorite tracks and podcasts.
Regular Updates
The company is constantly adding various new functionalities to Gemini—often connecting it here and there with many other apps from Google—so last month, a YouTube Music extension was released for it.
Although the assistant had much less functionality compared to its predecessor, Google Assistant, it is now clear that Gemini soon will get even bigger improvements.
And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to casually ask their AI pal to fire up their favourite Spotify playlist or audiobook?
It’s the kind of seamless, futuristic experience we’ve been promised by sci-fi movies for decades.
Sure, we might not have flying cars yet, but at least we’ll have an AI that can queue up our go-to workout playlist without us having to lift a finger (well, except for the initial voice command, of course).
