"Spotify on Wednesday upgraded its AI DJ feature - available to Premium subscribers - with a handful of new features, including the ability to send in your requests by typing, not just using voice commands. The feature works with both English and Spanish requests, as Spotify's Spanish-language DJ, called DJ Livi, now accepts music requests. The AI DJ feature was updated earlier this year to accept voice requests, instead of only playing tunes Spotify thinks that you'll like."
"Texting with an AI assistant is now a common behavior, thanks to the rising popularity of AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini. These services allow for multi-modal inputs, meaning you can either talk, text, or upload images and files as part of your request. As more people have gotten used to shifting back and forth between input methods, Apple rolled out a version of its Siri assistant that can also be reached by text."
"It's a natural next step for Spotify's AI feature to accept text input, as well, given that users are often engaged with the streaming service when out and about, commuting, or in a quiet space where they don't want to disturb others by issuing voice commands. In addition to the new texting feature, Spotify says that the AI DJ will also now offer personalized prompt suggestions to help inspire you if you're not sure what you want to listen to next."
Spotify upgraded its AI DJ for Premium subscribers to accept typed music requests in English and Spanish, allowing users to text requests in addition to voice commands. Spotify's Spanish-language DJ, DJ Livi, now accepts music requests. The AI DJ previously added voice-request capability for English but has expanded language support. The texting option suits users who are commuting, in public, or in quiet spaces. The DJ now offers personalized prompt suggestions to inspire listening choices. Access the DJ by searching “DJ” and pressing play, then change music by tapping the DJ button and submitting suggestions by voice or text. The feature handles genre, mood, artist, or activity requests and is live in over 60 markets.
