Spotify DJ
An AI radio host that builds a running mix from your listening history and changes course when you ask.

Why 2: it acts when asked, playing music to a mood, genre or activity, but controls only the music queue inside Spotify and does not plan multi-step tasks.
What it does. DJ plays a stream of tracks chosen from your listening history and introduces them in a synthetic voice. Since May 2025 Premium listeners can steer it by voice with a mood, genre, artist or activity, and since October 2025 by typing too. In September 2025 Spotify added a 'Talk to DJ' button on Android Auto, and in May 2026 it expanded DJ to more than 75 countries and four more languages.
Where it falls short. It controls one thing, the music queue: Spotify says requests for podcasts or audiobooks don't work, and it launched requests as a beta. Calling it an agent is generous, since it acts only inside the app.
