What’s the secret to product development at Spotify?. I had the pleasure of joining @GustavS for the latest episode of "Spotify: A Product Story" where we discussed the team's inside story of building the AI DJ a year ago. Enjoy!.

One of the most fun and playful features we launched recently, and it was born out of Hack Week!. My Daylist right now: “90s rock flannel evening” 😂. Search for “Daylist” to find yours .

My favorite part of #SpotifyWrapped is Your Artist Messages - tens of thousands of artists sent gratitude and love to their truest fans through Spotify for Artists. And artists took it in so many different directions this year.

Today’s launch holds a special significance for me. I grew up between 3 continents (🇱🇧🇫🇷🇺🇸), observing language barriers firsthand. You can now hear inspiring ideas in the speaker’s own voice, in your language. Check the video:. So proud of the team ❤️.

Did you know that many of Spotify’s personalized recommendations are built by our ML teams in Boston (powering many things from Discover Weekly to the new AI DJ)? @ScottKirsner and the @BostonGlobe paid us a visit at the office!.
