YouTube Changes How You Discover Content
YouTube is bringing AI closer to your fingertips. The video platform has introduced two new artificial intelligence features that aim to make content discovery easier and learning more interactive.
Let’s break down how these updates can help you find and explore more of what you love on YouTube.
Smarter Search with AI-Powered Carousels
Searching for something like “best beaches in Hawaii”? YouTube will now show a scrollable carousel filled with relevant video clips, complete with short AI-generated descriptions.
This new search experience pulls together highlights from across YouTube to help you discover content faster. It is designed to offer visual previews that are more personalized and helpful.
For now, this feature is available to YouTube Premium users in the US, specifically for searches related to travel, shopping, and local activities.
Chat With YouTube’s AI for Deeper Learning
YouTube is also expanding its conversational AI tool to include some non-Premium users in the US.
Already popular among Premium users, this feature allows you to chat with an AI assistant while watching videos. You can ask follow-up questions, request related content, or even quiz yourself on learning topics — like science, history, or math.
This update is especially useful for students, educators, and curious minds looking to go beyond the surface of a video.
Rolling Out Gradually Across the US
Both features are being rolled out gradually. The search carousel is live for Premium users, while the AI chat tool is reaching more users over the coming days.
YouTube says these AI tools are part of its larger effort to enhance viewer experience and learning on the platform. Expect more AI-driven features in the months ahead.
Summing Up
With millions of videos uploaded daily, finding the right content on YouTube can be overwhelming. These new tools use AI to bring more clarity, speed, and interactivity to the search and viewing experience.
Whether you’re planning a trip, shopping, or learning something new, YouTube wants AI to help you get there quicker.
