Spotify added new features to its AI DJ this week that include the ability to request songs by typing as well as personalized suggestion prompts. However, Spotify's AI DJ is only available to Premium subscribers.

Those subscribers can text to the AI DJ in English and now Spanish via the Spanish-language DJ, dubbed DJ Livi, which now takes requests. This comes after the AI DJ was updated earlier this year to take voice requests instead of only playing songs that Spotify's algorithm thinks you should hear.

If you're a Premium subscriber you can access the DJ by searching for "DJ" or "DJ Livi" on Spotify. Once it pops up, you just press play on the curated selection of music.

To change the music or enter a prompt, hold the DJ button on the bottom-right of the screen and you'll be able to offer a voice or text suggestion. Spotify notes that the DJ can handle requests that combine moods, genre, artists or activities.

I tried it on my partner's Spotify account and I was able to get the voice command to work but texting does not seem available yet at time of publication. Spotify's post says these features are available now but it may not have hit my partner's account. Let us know if you're able to access it on yours!
