Digital assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant already have Spotify integration allowing you to control music through your voice. Similar to Pandora, Spotify is now working on its own voice assistant that will work when you are actively using the Spotify app. You will be able to invoke the Spotify voice assistant using “Hey Spotify” voice command. If you are not interested in this feature, you can disable it under Settings.

Pandora currently supports following voice commands, so you can expect Spotify voice assistant to offer similar experience.

  • Control requestsย to change stations, control volume, skip or pause music, and other basic navigation commands.
  • Thematic requestsย delivering personalized music based on each userโ€™s unique tastes, moods, and favorite activities like โ€œplay something for my workoutโ€ or โ€œplay music for relaxing.โ€
  • Open-ended requestsย like โ€œplay something different,โ€ โ€œplay something I likeโ€ or โ€œplay more like this.โ€
  • Basic requestsย for a specific artist, song, station, podcast or playlist like โ€œplay new music byโ€ฆโ€ or โ€œplay my happy jams playlist.โ€
  • Interactive requestsย like โ€œwhat song is this?โ€ orย directional requestsย like โ€œadd this song to my party playlistโ€ or โ€œI like thisโ€ to give a thumbs-up.
