The world of artificial intelligence continues to expand beyond text and code, and this time it goes deep into your playlist. A new feature that is rolling out these days to ChatGPT users around the world brings the familiar capabilities of Shazam directly into the chat interface. The new integration is available to users on iOS, Android and also in the Web version (Web), and allows quick music recognition without the need to switch between different apps on the phone.
The process begins with a simple connection: Users are required to link Shazam with the chatbot through the Apps page of ChatGPT. Once the connection is made, it is possible to “summon” Shazam within the conversation using simple voice or text commands, such as "Shazam, what's playing?" or "Shazam, what is this song?". When the command is activated, a dedicated window will appear that can be tapped to begin the process of listening to the music playing in the environment.
After the system identifies the sounds, ChatGPT will display the name of the song, the name of the performer and the relevant album cover. Beyond the basic information, the interface allows users to save the identified song directly to their Shazam account for later listening.
An interesting point for those who suffer from a constant shortage of storage space: The new integration works within ChatGPT even if the Shazam app itself is not installed on the device. This capability makes the tool a particularly efficient solution for users who prefer to reduce the number of installed apps without giving up the ability to identify a song that got stuck in their head or is playing in the background at the coffee shop.
The new service has already begun a global rollout, and it represents another step in the transformation of AI-based chatbots into a multifunctional control center that saves the need for manual use of a wide range of separate tools.
