Spotifys AI DJ Learns to Accept Voice Requests for Tracks

Spotify DJ Gets More Interactive

Spotify has announced a major update to its AI DJ feature, which now allows premium users in 60 countries to make voice requests to set up music sessions, Android Authority reports.

The feature, which is only available in English, turns Spotify into a service that can adapt to a listener’s mood, genre, or even specific activity.

To make a request, you hold down the DJ button in the app, wait for the beep, and say something like, “Play some chill jazz for the evening” or “Surprise me with some new indie tracks.” Artificial intelligence, powered by Spotify and OpenAI, analyzes your listening history and preferences to create a unique playlist in real time. The DJ’s voice, modeled after Xavier “X” Jernigan, a former Spotify podcast host, adds commentary to the tracks, enhancing the live radio effect.

The feature is currently in beta and only works with music, excluding podcasts and audiobooks. Source: androidauthority
