I don't know enough about AI agents to know how they are accessing the services on the internet. If they are calling APIs, can't the companies restrict access to their APIs?

I suppose companies would like to be paid when they get called from inside these LLM environments or they would pay to be called first if the prompt uses a general term for the service. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

My understanding is that they can do both, access it via a "headless browser", and via API's. Whether for economic or technological reasons, though, both sides of the transaction will prefer moving to API calls. The economics of how this plays out (what incentives will firms have, what incentives will labs have, how governments will regulate this, how will competitive pressures play out) is going to be fascinating to see. As with everything else on this planet right now, exciting times ahead! :)

Sorry but how do you do this? It only gives me a CSV files of tracks that I am supposed to search on spotify and make a playlist.

Use Spotify in ChatGPT, you mean? Here's a help page from Spotify about this: https://newsroom.spotify.com/2025-10-06/spotify-personalized-prompts-chatgpt/

Yes. I assume that this new feature allows apps (in this case spotify) to be called within chagpt. And that chatgpt can actually create playlists within the app. Each time I type spotify (just that) or a more detailed 'create a playlist in spotify...' - it says the below <message follows> - I can’t directly connect to your Spotify or create playlists in your account. (I don’t have app control or OAuth access.)

Here’s the fastest workaround that still gives you a near one-click import:

Download this CSV I just generated: Carnatic playlist seed (CSV)

Go to a playlist importer (e.g., TuneMyMusic or Soundiiz).

Choose Upload File/CSV → Spotify (destination).

Import the CSV; the service will auto-match tracks on Spotify.

Confirm matches (pick the cleanest remasters/hi-fi releases if multiple appear).

Save the new playlist to your Spotify. You can rename it and set it private/public as you like.

If you prefer not to use a third-party tool, another quick option on Spotify Desktop is to paste multiple tracks at once, but that needs direct Spotify links which I can’t fetch for you. The CSV method above gets you there with minimal clicks.
