YouTube has once again done it. With more than 80 million Premium members globally, the site has cemented its status as a world entertainment giant. Whether you’re interested in viral music, reaction content, film trailers, or feature-length documentaries, YouTube has got you covered. But for Premium members, things just got even better.
From ad-free video streaming to background playback, YouTube Premium already had it all. Now, Google is further upgrading it with a smart conversational AI feature that’s being rolled out to a small group of users.
What Is the New Conversational AI Tool on YouTube Premium?
This new feature is not just a chatbot. It’s a robust AI-enabled helper meant to enhance your video experience to be faster and smarter. You can now tap “Ask” while viewing a video and start communicating with the AI in a split second. It can recommend related videos, respond to questions, summarize what’s happening in the video, and so much more, without pausing your stream.
You can ask:
- What is this video about?
- Can you display more videos like this one?
- Who is the speaker?
- Give a summary of this.
And yes, it answers right away—without stopping the video you’re viewing.
Who Can Use This AI Feature?
Today, this smart assistant is only for YouTube Premium users in the USA on Android devices. And there’s another condition, it’s currently only in English.
To access it, simply:
- Ensure you’re signed in with a Premium account.
- Use an Android in the U.S.
- Tap the “Ask” button beneath a supported video.
- Ask your question—and let AI do the rest.
- It’s quick, simple, and surprisingly helpful.
Making Comments Easy
Another highlight of this AI tool is how it approaches video comments, particularly for long-form videos. YouTube comments tend to be daunting, with thousands of comments stacked up. The new AI assists by breaking these comments into categories or summaries, so discussions can be better understood and joined without losing track.
This is good news for:
- Audiences who want to track detailed discussions
- Content creators who want to reply to fan feedback
- Anyone who appreciates a cleaner, more helpful comment section
By condensing the discussion, the AI makes the comment section less cluttered and more beneficial.
Additional Premium Perks:
In addition to the AI tool, U.S.-based YouTube Premium members also get to enjoy a lineup of special offers and bonus trials. If you’re a Premium member, here are some exciting perks that are available as of now:
- 3-month trial of PC Game Pass – A perfect match for gamers.
- Walmart+ membership trials – Save more while shopping.
- Free access to Discord Nitro – Level up your chats.
- 4-month trial of Calm Premium – Relax and de-stress anytime.
These add-ons are more than an afterthought; they reflect YouTube’s effort to deliver value beyond video. You’re not simply getting a streaming platform.
Why It Matters
YouTube is no longer simply a video-watching platform. It’s turning into an interactive environment, driven by AI and designed to your specifications. The conversational AI feature is evidence that YouTube is looking ahead, providing features that not only make watching more personal but also more productive.
Final Thoughts
With over 80 million users already on board, YouTube Premium is growing fast—and for good reason. The new AI tool, exclusive perks, and clean user experience make it worth considering for anyone who uses YouTube regularly. While the feature is limited to U.S. Android users for now, it’s likely we’ll see a global rollout soon.
