Spotify has expanded its AI DJ feature with voice-based music requests for Premium users globally. The update allows subscribers to verbally customize their listening experience in real-time.
Users can request specific genres, moods, artists, or activities by holding down the DJ button and speaking. The feature is available in over 60 markets and works exclusively in English currently.
The AI DJ has seen engagement nearly double over the past year since its initial launch. Users appreciate the personalized curation that adapts to their immediate preferences and context.
Voice requests work for scenarios like setting the mood for a date night or energizing tracks for workouts. The AI understands natural language to deliver appropriate music selections.
The feature is still in beta and undergoing refinements based on user feedback. It positions Spotify competitively against other streaming services with similar AI capabilities.
