Spotify's AI DJ and playlist features might not be for everyone, but they have changed the way I consume music in 2025.
Spotify has been experimenting with AI in some form since 2023, when it first debuted its personalized DJ. In the early days, I felt the DJ was pretty rough. Sure, it would sometimes provide me with new bangers in the style I liked or play some old yet beloved song I hadn’t thought about in decades, but the biggest issue was the lack of real customization. This improved significantly in 2024 with the introduction of AI playlists, but it’s been a slow journey.
Since then, I’ve been regularly using Spotify’s AI features. I often put on the DJ when cleaning or working out, and I’ve used the AI playlist system to create customized playlists of newer music tailored to my tastes and more. Although not everyone has been impressed by Spotify’s AI, I’ve found that carefully constructed prompts result in pretty decent playlists.
