In the era of AI, there is so much one can do with technology. It is therefore in this sense that Spotify is looking forward to advancing its AI DJ platform.
Companies such as Google just announced the launch of its new AI Futures Fund – an initiative that seeks to invest in startups that are building with the latest AI tools from Google DeepMind, the company’s AI R&D lab.
In a bid to make its AI DJ feel more interactive, Spotify is updating the feature to allow users to request music or change the mood of a playlist using voice commands.

The company is rolling out this feature, initially only supported in English, in over 60 markets for its Premium subscribers.
Previously, users could only listen to the AI DJ play songs with added commentary in between certain tracks. Now, the feature is becoming interactive.
Users can tell the AI DJ to change the mood or genre or have it play tracks from specific artists.
To use the AI DJ, you can type in “DJ” in the search bar, then hold the DJ button on the bottom right to make requests through voice commands.
If you want to change the feel of the playlist without making a specific request, you can quickly press the DJ button.
Spotify first launched the AI DJ feature in February 2023 in the U.S. and Canada.
The company later rolled it out globally in August 2023. Last year, the music streaming company added support for a Spanish-speaking AI DJ.
The company’s other big AI feature lets users create playlists using text prompts.
