View original source

YouTube has announced the addition of new AI-powered features to its YouTube Music app, aimed at enhancing the user experience by making it easier to discover music, artists, and podcasts.

  • At the Made On YouTube event, these updates were introduced to include "Ask Music," a conversational tool, and "Your Podcast Lineup," a personalized audio guide.
  • Ask Music allows users to describe what they want to hear in everyday language, simplifying the search process across YouTube Music's extensive catalog of 300 million songs.
  • The feature supports exploring an artist’s motivations or digging deeper into music history, akin to asking a friend for recommendations.
  • Your Podcast Lineup is designed to tackle the overwhelming number of podcasts by offering an AI-generated weekly personalized guide for podcast discovery.
  • This feature provides short spoken previews of recommended shows, helping listeners find new podcasts or episodes easily.
  • The introduction of these features aligns with YouTube's broader strategy to integrate AI throughout its services, similar to AI advancements made by Spotify with their personal podcast recommendations.

These new features will soon be available to YouTube Music and YouTube Premium subscribers globally.
