New, experimental features are coming to YouTube Premium users including AI tools and free software partnerships.

YouTube have some big new bonuses for subscribers to their Premium, ad-free experience. The features focus largely on AI and follow the announcement of a new AI tool that creates songs using top artist’s voices.

YouTube Premium offers ad-free, offline, and background viewing of YouTube videos. They recently added new features allowing you to queue videos on phones and tablets and watch in “enhanced” 1080p quality.

They also introduced Google Meet Live Sharing. It allows you to add a YouTube video to your Google Meet call and watch it simultaneously with those on the call.

Premium members gain early access to two new AI tools from YouTube:

Conversational AI

Starting today, Premium members can be one of the first to try out YouTube’s new experimental conversational AI tool that they hope will make your viewing experience that much better.

Think of this as your tool that can answer questions, suggest related content, and more, all without interrupting your playback experience. This feature is currently only available in English to a limited number of YouTube Premium members in the United States on Android devices.

If you sign up quickly for one of the limited spots, you can access the tool by tapping “Ask” beneath select videos and begin by asking questions about the video or selecting a suggested prompt.

Comment topics summarized by AI

YouTube are also experimenting with AI that organizes large comment sections of long-form videos into digestible themes, helping you more easily understand and participate in comment conversations.

Creators can use these comment summaries to more quickly jump into comment discussions on their videos, or to draw inspiration for new content based on what their audiences are discussing.

Promotional offers and free trials for YouTube Premium users

Beyond AI, YouTube have announced the launch of new partnerships for exclusive deals. This includes exclusive offers and free trials of software and platforms for YouTube Premium subscribers.
