Overview

  • Spotify's AI DJ now supports voice commands, allowing users to request specific artists, genres, or moods in real time.
  • The new feature is available exclusively to Premium subscribers in over 60 markets and is currently supported only in English.
  • Users can activate the voice command feature by holding the DJ button and speaking their request after a beep.
  • This update marks a shift from the AI DJ's previous passive functionality, which offered limited user control over playlists.
  • The voice command feature builds on Spotify's broader AI strategy, including its 2022 acquisition of Sonantic and earlier AI-driven playlist tools.
