    Using a combination of your listening activity and Spotify's musical recommendation features, AI DJ plays songs you already like, and songs it thinks you will love. DJ X, whose voice you'll often hear between songs, isn't a real person—it's a AI-created rendition of a Spotify employee's voice synthesized by AI voice platform Sonantic. DJ X drops in between songs to bring you facts about songs, albums, artists, and genres, all of which are generated by OpenAI ( ChatGPT ). And because ChatGPT does make mistakes sometimes, in-house Spotify experts use their knowledge to make sure this information is accurate. [2]

    You'll need to live in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, or Ireland to use Spotify DJ. [3] As Spotify continues to make improvements to AI DJ, it's likely the feature will come to other countries in the future.

    If you're on the free plan, you'll need to upgrade to Premium ; you won't find the AI DJ option in the Spotify app.
    • All Spotify Premium plans support AI DJ, so you can start listening with an Individual, Duo, Family, or Student Premium account. [4]

    If you haven't updated the Spotify app in a while, you might not have access to the AI DJ feature.
    • On Android, open the Play Store, tap your profile icon, then tap Manage apps & devices . If you see an Update button next to Spotify, tap it to start the update. [5]
    • On an iPhone or iPad, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to find the Spotify app. If an update is available, tap UPDATE to install it.

    Some users have found that even though they have Premium accounts, live in a supported country, and are using the latest version of the Spotify mobile app, they still can't find AI DJ in Spotify. Because AI DJ is still in beta, it may not be available to all accounts yet. Over time, Spotify AI DJ will be more widely available.
