Spotify is enhancing its AI-powered DJ feature, which originally debuted in 2023, by enabling it to take requests via voice commands from users. This update allows listeners to interact more directly with the DJ.
Initially, the AI DJ curated playlists based on a user’s listening habits, complete with an AI-generated voice guiding the experience. Now, users can speak to the DJ and make requests such as ‘play some unfamiliar indie music’ or ‘find electronic music suitable for a run.’
According to Spotify, this new functionality aims to provide users with greater influence over the automated DJ. It allows for requests that are more contextual, focusing on a mood or specific activity rather than just a particular artist or song. The DJ’s selections will continue to be informed by the user’s listening history, ensuring the music generally aligns with their preferences.
To use the voice request feature, users need to press and hold the DJ button located in the bottom right corner of the Spotify app. After speaking their request and releasing the button, the DJ is expected to respond with appropriate music. Users can change the music by repeating this process or by simply pressing the ‘next’ button to skip the current song.
More details about Spotify’s DJ feature can be found on the company’s official blog.
