Much like voice assistants on smartphones, AI chatbots are beginning to offer song identification tools to help you learn about new artists or jog your memory about an older song you’ve listened to.
ChatGPT now has a new way to identify song titles, artists, and other key details by partnering with Apple’s Shazam tech. The ChatGPT integration lets you tag Shazam in a chatbot message if the app is activated.
The app’s description says, “Use @Shazam in your prompt to discover music with the same powerful recognition technology trusted by hundreds of millions worldwide. Preview songs inline, and save discoveries directly to your Shazam library.”
To use this version, head to the listing on OpenAI’s website, sign in, and select Connect, followed by pressing Connect again on the following menu.
There’s a toggle that lets ChatGPT reference previous conversations about your music taste or what it has learned about you. Neither Apple nor OpenAI specifies whether your use of Shazam may influence future conversations, but turning this toggle on may mean that it adds details you discuss to ChatGPT’s memory of what you like to listen to.
The brand previously introduced its own Apple Music app for ChatGPT, allowing you to make playlists and listen to tracks.

This new tool lets you save songs directly to your Shazam account, or you can ask ChatGPT to make playlists with the identified songs through Apple Music or rival services with OpenAI integrations, such as Spotify. That may help you better keep track of the songs you discover, rather than having them get lost in your chat logs, which are likely to flit between topics.
Shazam adds to a growing list of ChatGPT apps you can download for your chatbot, including Adobe Express, Asana, Canva, OpenTable, PayPal, Slack, and hundreds of others.
