Alongside tools for AI-generated podcasts, Spotify on Thursday introduced a new, ElevenLabs-powered AI tool for self-publishing audiobooks within the Spotify for Authors platform. The company said at its Investor Day event that the feature will launch in beta this June on an invite-only basis, initially with support for the English language only. The AI-powered audiobook generation won’t bind authors to an exclusive contract, meaning they are free to publish their generated audiobooks anywhere. The news builds onSpotify’s previous partnership with ElevenLabs, which allowed writers to submit audiobooks created on the voice AI startup’s platform to Spotify. The audio streaming platform also already had a partnership withGoogle Play Booksto allow for digitally narrated content. However, it may have wanted authors to access newer voice models that sound more expressive and human-like, like those offered by ElevenLabs. Notably, ElevenLabs had released itsown self-publishing platform for authors in 2025. Spotify is also expanding its “Spotify for Authors” platform to support 10 more languages, including French, Canadian French, German, Dutch, Latin American Spanish, Swedish, Finnish, Icelandic, Danish, and Norwegian. In addition, the company will expand its Audiobook+ plans this year to allow for higher listening limits and will add new options for students and families in the future. (Spotify didn’t specify any pricing or usage details for these plans in its announcement, however.) To date, Spotify has clocked in over a million Audiobook+ subscriptions, and it is on track to generate $100 million in annualized recurring revenue for the platform. At the event, the company introduced a new way for users to ask questions using natural language for audiobook discovery. This summer, Spotify will also expand a feature that allows users to create prompt-based playlists forpodcastsandmusicto include audiobooks, it said. Spotify has increased its focus on audiobooks heavily in the last few years and has managed to build its catalog to 700,000 titles. The company brought the program tointernational markets,made an investment in non-English titles,enabled in-app purchases, andreleased audiobook charts. This year, it also started a program for authors to sellphysical books in the U.S. and the U.K. Through these initiatives, the company has managed to bump up listening hours by 60% year-on-year, the company claims. Spotify also said that more than half of its audiobook listeners started in the last year.

Google is trying hard to turn Gemini into a super app that can handle not only different tasks, but tasks in different apps and platforms. The Mountain View-based tech giant is achieving this through the underlying artificial intelligence (AI) models' agentic capabilities and third-party connectors. The first allows the chatbot to take actions via external tools, and the second allows Gemini access to third-party data hubs and platforms. The latest to announce dedicated connectors for the chatbot are Adobe and Canva.

Google AI Studio, over the years, has become a fun place for developers and artificial intelligence (AI) enthusiasts to test out new models and features, or to build vibe-coded apps using application programming interface (API) keys. But now the Mountain View-based tech giant is increasing its usability and targeting general users with a new development. The AI Studio platform is being introduced as an Android app, with the main draw being the ability to generate tools, trackers, and apps from natural language prompts.
