Spotify Adds AI Audiobook Generation Powered by ElevenLabs — Beta in June

Friends — a tech update: Spotify has introduced an ElevenLabs-powered tool for authors to generate audiobooks directly in Spotify for Authors.

Briefly:
- Beta launches in June, invite-only, English only for now.
- Authors aren’t required to be exclusive — content can be published anywhere.
- Spotify is expanding Spotify for Authors to 10 new languages and raising Audiobook+ limits; pricing details TBA.
- The platform already offers natural-language search and plans to add prompt-driven playlist creation for audiobooks.

Why it matters: it simplifies monetization and distribution via expressive voice models.

Do you think this will be a game changer for audiobook authors?
