Spotify’s AI DJ gets new voices, personalities, and an option for less chatter
Summary
Spotify is upgrading its AI DJ feature, introduced in 2023, by allowing users to customize the DJ's voice and personality, similar to AI assistants. Premium subscribers can now choose from an expanded set of voices in English and Spanish, each with unique personalities, such as laid-back, direct, or youthful. The original voice "X" remains, but Spanish voices Fabi and Nico replace "Livi." Additionally, users can toggle off commentary between songs, reducing interruptions for scenarios like background music at parties. The update rolls out on November 10 to Premium users in over 95 markets where DJ is supported. The AI DJ is used by over 94 million Premium listeners, making it one of Spotify's most popular AI features.
