YouTube is experimenting with a new conversational AI and an AI-organized comment section،

YouTube is testing two new AI-powered features that could make the video platform more engaging and informative for users. These features are currently only available to a limited number of YouTube Premium subscribers.

As reported 9to5Google, the first feature, called “Ask,” is a conversational AI that allows users to ask questions about the videos they watch and get answers generated by large language models (LLM). Users can also ask the AI ​​to recommend related content.

The “Ask” button will appear on some English videos and is currently only available to US English YouTube Premium subscribers (18+) on the Android app. YouTube plans to roll it out to more users in the coming weeks.

The second feature is an AI-powered tool that organizes large comment sections of long-form videos into easy-to-digest themes. This will help users find the comments they’re most interested in and make it easier for creators to moderate their comment sections.

The “Topics” section will appear next to the “Top” and “Most Recent” sorting options on some videos with large comment sections. Creators will be able to delete any comment topics they don’t want and delete individual comments that appear under specific topics.

Meanwhile, both of these YouTube features are experimental and will be available via the You’Tube Premium “Try New Experimental Features” page on the web and in the app. Currently I only see the “Explore AI-summarized comment topics” feature available and the experience will only be available until December 5th.
