Spotify Voice AI and Social Audio Strategy with Messina, Kemp, Schwartz and Greenberg – Voicebot Podcast Ep 207
Spotify recently released a custom voice assistant called ‘Hey Spotify,’ acquired (then rebranded) Locker Room as the foundation of a new social audio feature, and announced a new in-car voice-interactive device for audio content while on the go. I gathered some Spotify experts in Clubhouse to break down Spotify’s voice AI and social audio strategy and its implications. Guests include:
- Ari Greenberg – Formerly head of voice marketing at Spotify
- Dave Kemp – Creator of Future Ear Radio
- Chris Messina – Former product leader at Google & Uber, one of the earliest U.S. users of Spotify
- Eric Hal Schwartz – Head writer at Voicebot.ai
