YouTube video is introducing a new feature called “Ask AI,” created by Google, to change how viewers interact with video content.
This new feature is being tested right now. It allows viewers to chat with an AI tool during videos, making it easy to ask and get answers to questions instantly. At this testing phase, YouTube’s Ask AI feature is only accessible to Premium subscribers aged 18 and over who use the YouTube Android app. This is limited to users in the United States.
Here’s how it works: Once users enable the feature on their accounts, they’ll notice an “Ask” button under certain videos. They can then type in their questions about the video or select from a list of prompts that ask for summaries or related information. The AI looks at both the input and the video content, providing relevant answers smoothly while the video plays. Read also 5 Best AI Mobile Apps Free & Paid
