YouTube Tests Conversational AI Search Tool
Google trials Ask YouTube, a feature blending AI summaries with video results to reshape search on the platform.
YouTube is testing a conversational AI search feature, the latest step in Google’s push to rework how users find content.
Called “Ask YouTube,” the tool is rolling out to Premium subscribers in the US aged 18 and over, available through June 8. It lets users type more detailed queries and get a mix of text summaries and relevant video clips, with the option to ask follow-up questions.
Google says the feature returns “comprehensive results that include video and text, then ask follow ups to dive deeper”.
The tool sits inside YouTube Labs. Once enabled, a new button appears in the search bar with suggested prompts, or users can enter their own. Some queries produce structured answers with timestamps pointing to key moments in videos. Others fall back to a standard list of clips.
