Paytm has unveiled ‘Playback', a new AI-driven feature that turns a user's monthly spending information into a customised rap track. Currently in its beta phase and accessible to a group of high-volume users, the feature can be found within the app's ‘Balance & History' tab.
It reviews how money has been spent across categories such as shopping, dining, travel and household bills. Then, it produces a tailored rap verse that captures the highlights of the past month's expenses.
Founder and CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma said it is the company's first AI offering. “Paytm team has created Paytm Playback—an in-house voice model, and trained it to sing lyrics based on your last month's spends,” he posted on X.
AI will allow us to create products that weren't possible before.

“Young Indians today consume their world as content, and we saw an opportunity to turn routine expense statements into something engaging and relatable. We expect more users to tune in and reflect on their spending habits as they vibe to their rap song, setting them on the path toward greater financial awareness,” a Paytm spokesperson said.
Responding to a tweet questioning the practical utility of the feature, Sharma said, “It makes us more GenZ app than other oldies' apps.”
