YouTube: A New Update Brings ‘Ask’ Option For Asking Queries 

HIGHLIGHTS
  • YouTube is testing something new to enhance the facility of generative AI for creators.
  • The users will see a new "Ask" button on the video page.
  • However, the brand started rolling out this new feature, but for now, it is only for some of the selected users.

YouTube is the second most visited website in the world, an essential unit of Google’s workspace. In the last couple of weeks, the brand has already rolled out lots of new features, user interface and many more for both creators as well as audiences, specifically as per their convenience. And now YouTube is testing something new to enhance the facility of generative AI for creators. 

YouTube is stretching the area of generative AI for creators by testing a new conversational AI for end users, which permits them to ask queries about videos and navigate comments more easily. So once the update gets rolled out, the users will get a more enhanced generative AI experience. 

Now, the users will see a new “Ask” button placed on the video page, which permits them to “interact with AI to learn more about the content. Whereas the responses will be generated by large language models (LLMs), and a “draw on info” from YouTube, as well as the web. 

When someone interacts with this tool, the company will collect data about their use of the tool, as well as queries and feedback they submit. This data will help the company to deliver, improve, and develop its products and services. Noticeably, the queries will be deleted automatically once the time limit is over, which is 30 days. 

However, the brand started rolling out this new feature, but for now, it is only for some of the selected users. Meanwhile, US English YouTube Premium subscribers have the power to opt in through youtube.com/new in the coming weeks using the Android application. And the new option “Ask” will appear “for select English videos.”  

For organizing “large comment sections of long-form videos into easily digestible themes”, YouTube is using AI. Now, when users open comments on mobile, they might appear in a new “topics” section on certain videos. It includes the “Top” and “Newest” sort options. 

Whereas the creators will get the ability to “remove any comment topics,” they will also be able to delete “individual comments which show up under the specific topic.” This will also be available as part of youtube.com/new on a short number of videos in English that have large comment sections. 

Noticeably, the brand has started rolling out these new changes and features gradually, and soon, all the users will receive all the new upgrades.
