Spotify enhances its AI-powered personal DJ for listeners

Spotify first launched a new AI-powered DJ on its platform back in 2023, becoming the first streaming platform to integrate artificial intelligence. Back then, the DJ created ever-changing playlists based on the listening habits of its viewers.

Two years later, Spotify has added new improvements to the DJ feature. Listeners on the streaming platform can now talk to the AI DJ, named X, directly about what they want to listen to, with the AI personalizing their playlists accordingly.

All they need to do is press and hold the DJ button and use voice commands to instruct the AI on what they want following an audio cue. They can also ask the feature to play specific tracks, switch songs to match their mood, and listen to their preferred genre or artists.

The company has also added an AI playlist-building feature, allowing users to create playlists using text prompts. However, it is still in its beta testing period at the moment.

Spotify's personalised AI DJ feature is reserved for listeners with a premium membership at the moment.
