Spotify’s AI DJ gets new voices, personalities, and an option for less chatter

Spotify’s AI DJ, one of the company’s earlier efforts in embracing AI technology to connect people with their favorite music, is getting an upgrade. On Tuesday, the streamer announced that users will now be able to customize their DJ more like they can an AI assistant, by choosing between different voices and personalities. Those who like the feature, but not all the chatter, can also now opt for an experience with less commentary in between sets.

Since first launching the AI DJ in 2023, Spotify has leveraged AI across to improve all areas of its app. Most recently, that has included updates that allow users to chat with a conversational AI agent about music, fine-tune their recommendations with prompts, create playlists with AI, and work with third-party agents like ChatGPT and Claude. However, the DJ remains one of Spotify’s most popular AI features, as it’s used by over 94M Spotify Premium listeners.

Now, it’s revisiting one of its first major AI features, taking a cue from the personalization options other AI assistants routinely offer.

With the update, Spotify Premium subscribers will be able to choose from an expanded set of AI DJ voices in both English and Spanish. The voices include seven English options with British, American, Irish, Australian, and Indian accents, and two new Spanish options.

The different voices will have their own unique personalities as well. For instance, users can pick between three American voices, one of which is laid-back and warm (Casey), another that’s direct and has an edge (Tess), and a third that has a Southern accent and a youthful energy (Lane).
