At Toronto’s Elevate Festival, Spotify used the platform to show off new capabilities that let users guide how music, podcasts, and audio stories reach them.
During his presentation, David Nyhan, Product Director for Personalization at Spotify, explained how the platform is expanding features that let people tailor what they hear in meaningful ways. He described how tools like DJ mode and an AI Playlist feature are designed not just to suggest content, but to respond to what each user wants in the moment.
