Why This Matters

The integration of Shazam directly into ChatGPT marks a significant step in merging music recognition technology with AI chatbots, enhancing user convenience and expanding the ways consumers can interact with music content. This development demonstrates how major tech companies like Apple are leveraging AI to create more seamless, multi-functional digital experiences, potentially transforming how users discover and engage with music through conversational interfaces.

Key Takeaways

Starting today, users can ask Shazam to identify a song without having to leave ChatGPT. Here’s how it works.

The Shazam app is available now on ChatGPT

A few months ago, Apple brought Apple Music to ChatGPT, letting users tap into the chatbot’s natural-language capabilities to create playlists.

Now, Apple-owned Shazam is also releasing a ChatGPT app, allowing users to simply ask “Shazam, what’s playing?” or “Shazam, what is this song?” to identify music without leaving the app, even if Shazam isn’t installed on their device.

The setup is very simple: users can head over to https://chatgpt.com/apps/, then look for Shazam, and connect their accounts.

Once that’s done, users can just start their prompt with the word “Shazam” (or type /Shazam to invoke the app) for an experience that will be familiar to what Shazam users are already used to.

Shazam will go on to identify the song, and bring up a card with the artist’s name, the song title, the album artwork, and how many times users have used Shazam to identify that tune.

Users can preview the song from the result, or save it to their Shazam library (if they have the Shazam app installed). Alternatively, they can simply continue the conversation, perhaps asking ChatGPT to create an Apple Music playlist inspired by the result.

The Shazam app for ChatGPT is rolling out globally and is available on ChatGPT for iOS, Android, and the web.
