1. Access Google Gemini
Open Google Gemini through your preferred platform (web browser or Google app.

In the prompt box, provide Gemini with details about your exercise plan. For example: "I'm doing a 45-minute high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout focusing on cardio and strength exercises."
3. Specify your music preferences
Tell Gemini about your favorite genres, artists, or songs for workouts. You could say, for instance, "I enjoy upbeat pop and electronic dance music (EDM) for workouts. Some of my favorite artists are Daft Punk, Calvin Harris, and Chase and Status."
4. Set the mood and intensity
Next, explain the energy level you're looking for throughout your workout: "I need high-energy songs for the intense parts of my HIIT routine, and slightly calmer tracks for warm-up and cool-down."
5. Consider workout phases
If your routine has distinct phases, communicate this to Gemini: "My workout has a 5-minute warm-up, 35 minutes of alternating high-intensity and recovery periods, and a 5-minute cool-down."
6. Ask for playlist creation
Prompt Gemini to create your playlist by saying something like: "Based on this information, can you create a workout playlist for me with song suggestions for each phase of my routine?" Then hit Enter.
7. Review and refine
You can always refine the playlist by asking Gemini to include variety. For example: "Can you replace a few of the EDM tracks with rock songs to add more variety?"
