YouTube promises custom feeds and a lot more AI later this year
YouTube plans custom feeds, GIF comments, group chat, and broader Ask YouTube and Ask Music AI features.
At Made on YouTube, Google previewed Custom Feeds, which let users add tabs by describing desired content and rating suggestions, with a US rollout soon on web, mobile, and TV. Later this year, comments will support GIFs on videos and Shorts, and direct messages will add group chat in the US, UK, Singapore, Brazil, and some European countries. Ask YouTube will answer questions in product-review videos and offer organized recommendations and comparison tables in search. Ask Music will sit at the top of YouTube Music, create or edit playlists, and surface mix suggestions.
- Custom Feeds create topic tabs from a user-written description.
- GIF comments and limited-region group chat arrive later this year.
- Ask YouTube adds product Q&A, recommendations, and comparison tables.
- Ask Music moves to the top of YouTube Music and edits playlists.
