Shazam moved into ChatGPT and brought snacks
Good news for people who hum catchy tunes for hours and then forget the artist five seconds later. Shazam is now available inside ChatGPT. That means you can ask the chatbot to identify a song mid-chat by using the magic word Shazam, and it will do the music-recognition thing almost instantly.
How it works, without the techno-sorcery explanation
- Connect the Shazam app to ChatGPT once, then type a prompt containing the word Shazam to activate the song ID feature.
- The chatbot will show the track's cover art and play a short preview right inside the conversation, because yes, we live in the future.
- If you already have Shazam installed on your device, discovered tracks can be saved directly to your Shazam Library from the chat.
- Even if you do not have the Shazam app on your device, the ChatGPT Shazam integration can still recognize music for you.
Where and when
The Shazam app for ChatGPT is rolling out globally starting today on iOS, Android, and the web in countries where ChatGPT is available. That includes Italy, because yes, your late-night kitchen dance soundtrack will now be solved in Italian territory as well.
All in all, this feels like the sort of partnership that knows you too well: now you can ask a chatbot what song made you cry in the supermarket and instantly get answers, artwork, and a preview. Use responsibly and avoid claiming songs as your own at parties.
