Digital assistant integration with music services

A method for providing a curated listening experience to a user of one or more devices, comprising:

• configuring a digital assistant to a) interact with the user across each of the one or more devices using at least one of voice, physical interaction, or sensed gesture and b) collect contextual data associated with the user or one or more of the devices;
• monitoring the user's interactions with the devices to create a usage history;
• and
• using the contextual data and usage history to identify a context with which to suggest a curated listening experience to the user, and
• surfacing a notification suggesting that the user participate in the curated listening experience upon an occurrence of the identified context,
• wherein the curated listening experience comprises a playlist of content and wherein the digital assistant provides commentary pertaining to the content as the playlist is played on the one or more devices.

One or more computer-readable memory devices storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors disposed in a computer server, cause the computer server to:

• receive monitoring data from a device associated with a user in which the monitoring data describes interactions between the user and the device;
• receive contextual data associated with either the user or the device;
• generate a playlist of content personalized to the user based on the monitoring data and the contextual data;
• generate curation for the content in the playlist, the curation including at least one of commentary, information, or recommendations;
• and
• communicate with a digital assistant instantiated on the device so that the digital assistant is enabled to i) interact with the user to receive feedback on the personalized playlist, and ii) provide the curation for the playlist as it plays on the device.
