Spotify, the world’s most popular music and podcast platform with more than 200 million subscribers, announced that it has introduced a brand new feature to improve the user experience. In the blog post shared by the company today, it was stated that the feature is an artificial intelligence-supported DJ.
Dubbed ‘AI DJ’, the new feature is described by Spotify as “a new way to listen to music on Spotify and connect even more deeply with the artists you love.” It is also stated that the help of the artificial intelligence company OpenAI for the feature and the help of Sonantic, which was acquired by Spotify last summer, was used for the voice of the DJ.
AI DJ speaks like a real person, showing you music you might love
According to the statements, the artificial intelligence supported DJ knows the users and their music tastes very well. The feature makes subscribers listen to songs based on their listening history and habits. Spotify says, “The DJ knows you and your musical tastes so well that it scans for the latest songs you might like or takes you to a nostalgic playlist you listened to last year.”
The new feature, which aims to provide an even more personalized experience, will also be able to play songs you listened to years ago and change the music it shows based on your feedback. It is stated that the more you use the feature, the better the DJ’s suggestions will be.
Finally, we can say that the DJ sounds very realistic. In the video shared by the company, we see that the voice created with the artificial intelligence sound platform Sonantic resembles the voice of a real person. The DJ also explains many topics such as why he chose that music, when you last listened to that song.
The AI-powered DJ feature is now available for Spotify Premium subscribers in the US and Canada. We will see when it will come to other users in the future.
