YouTube has introduced 'Ask YouTube,' an AI-powered interactive search feature available to Premium subscribers in the U.S. aged 18 or older. Users can ask questions like 'plan a 3-day road trip from San Francisco to Santa Barbara' and receive step-by-step results with titles and channel details to help discover new creators.
The feature presents results as a mix of text, short videos, and longer videos instead of only video results. Users can follow up with additional questions, such as 'Where can I get good coffee?' and receive suggestions in the same format.
Google is working on making the feature available to non-Premium users. The company has been introducing AI-mode styled search across multiple surfaces, including side-by-side web browsing and product price exploration features this year, and Gemini's Canvas feature last month.
