Spotify DJ AI Features Launched

Newsroom, on spotify.com:

By simply using your voice, you can now ask DJ to update your personalized listening session based on the music you want to hear at that moment, whether you’re looking for something to set the mood for date night or need some high-energy tracks to get you hyped for a party.

DJ can handle a combination of genre, mood, artist, or activity-related requests. For example, you could try, Surprise me with some indie tracks I’ve never heard before,” or Give me some electronic beats for a midday run.” You could even request something like, Play me some cry-in-the-car songs.”

One of the few AI features I was surprised it was not out yet and actually was hoping existed. It’s not as front and center as I expected and I’m still not convinced it’s good, but I do like the concept of asking my jukebox conversationally what I want.
