Spotify is making a strong push into artificial intelligence, announcing two major updates that deepen its AI integration. The company is expanding its AI DJ feature to four new languages and eight additional countries, while simultaneously launching a beta command-line tool that lets users create AI-generated personal podcasts directly in the app.
AI DJ goes multilingual
Spotify’s interactive AI DJ, which provides spoken commentary and accepts user requests, now supports French (named Maia), German (Ben), Italian (Alex), and Brazilian Portuguese (Dani). Each language version comes with a distinct personality tailored to the local market. The feature was previously available only in English and Spanish. The rollout also adds eight new countries — Austria, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, South Korea, and Switzerland — bringing the total availability to over 75 nations.
Personalized AI podcasts via CLI tool
In a separate move, Spotify opened its platform to user-generated AI audio. A command-line interface (CLI) tool now allows users to generate podcast-like content from documents, notes, or custom prompts using AI coding agents such as OpenAI’s Codex or Anthropic’s Claude Code. The resulting audio sessions are saved privately to the user’s library and are not publicly accessible. For example, a prompt like “Build me an audio session that dives deep into the history of the World Cup” will produce a bespoke podcast.
This beta feature is aimed at developers and tech-savvy users for now, but it signals a broader ambition. Spotify intends to become a hub for personalized, on-demand audio, blending AI generation with its massive music and podcast catalog.
Both announcements underscore Spotify’s commitment to AI-driven user experiences, as the streaming giant seeks to differentiate itself in an increasingly competitive market. The company had already upgraded the AI DJ in May 2025 to support conversational interactions and song requests, and these latest steps show no sign of slowing down.
