Spotify AI DJ adds support for French, German, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese

In short: Spotify says its AI DJ feature now supports French, German, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese, and it is rolling out to more countries.

What happened

Spotify announced that its interactive AI DJ (a built-in voice host that picks music and talks between songs) can now speak four additional languages: French, German, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese. Until now, the feature only worked in English and Spanish.

Spotify said each language version has its own DJ name and personality. The new DJs are called Maia, Ben, Alex, and Dani.

Spotify is also expanding where the feature is available. It is coming to Austria, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, South Korea, and Switzerland. Spotify says the AI DJ is now available in more than 75 countries.

The AI DJ started as a feature that mostly talked about the songs it was playing while choosing tracks it thought you would like. Over time, Spotify has made it more interactive, meaning you can ask for different music. In 2025, Spotify added voice requests so people could ask for a different mood or genre (genre means a type of music, like pop or jazz). Later, Spotify also added a text option, so you can type requests, similar to chatting with a customer service bot.

Why it matters

For listeners, this makes the AI DJ feel more like a local radio host instead of an English-only feature. If you mainly use Spotify in one of these languages, you can now ask for music and hear spoken comments in the language you are most comfortable with, which can make it easier to discover songs and adjust what is playing without digging through menus.
