Spotify's AI-powered DJ now takes song requests
Briefly

Spotify's AI DJ has evolved from a passive listening tool to an interactive experience for Premium users, allowing them to request songs based on mood and genre. Launched in 60 markets, this feature lets users engage more actively in what they listen to, while still enjoying a 'lean back' experience. Senior product director Molly Holder emphasizes the need for users to feel some control, as they can speak prompts to receive tailored playlists. The feature complements previously introduced AI tools, enhancing Spotify's personalization approach.
