  • YouTube is testing a new AI-powered “Ask” button that lets you type questions about the video you’re watching and receive real-time answers.
  • This feature is currently available to select YouTube Premium subscribers in the United States using the Android app.

Google’s AI is everywhere, and its next goal is to transform the YouTube experience. The platform is currently testing a new coversational AI feature to help viewers get the most out of the videos they watch by facilitating real-time question-and-answer interactions directly within videos.

Currently, this feature is in the experimental phase and is limited to YouTube’s Android app for YouTube Premium subscribers who are 18 years or older and based in the United States.
