Spotify says that "the more you listen and tell the DJ what you like (and don’t like!), the better its recommendations get".

Spotify claims that while it might seem automated, the AI is actually used in conjunction its music editors - experts on different genres of music.

DJ is able to use natural language commands to interact with its voice model. The AI can also communicate with users. Spotify teamed up to Xavier Jernigan who voices the AI.

[{"selector":"#anim-5d3f804b-efb3-4def-b20e-704eef000b48","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6daca495-6441-4aa0-8e55-96c1451a95e3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Jernigan, also known as "X", is one of Spotify’s podcast hosts for its daily morning show 'The GetUp'. According to the company, Jernigan's voice "resonated with listeners and led to a loyal following for our podcast".
