The Spotify AI DJ is currently available only to premium subscribers in the U.S. and Canada. This feature uses generative AI and a natural-sounding AI voice to give music selections and offer background information on the artist, song, or album.

This feature presents a snippet of a song’s audio combined with video, allowing users to preview an album, playlist, or song. Users can listen to their own music while scrolling the feed on mute and tap on the card to go to the full album or playlist view.
