YouTube Music is rolling out its latest AI feature “Ask Music.” Thus, users are going to have the ability to create radio stations in a snap. All that is needed is to select from music genre prompts to tailor the experience.
This feature enables the user to interact with a full-screen chat interface. Users tap a card for song suggestions or playlist curation. The AI auto-generates a playlist from that cue.
It builds personalized radio stations based on simple input of genres or moods. Examples of simple prompts it operates on are “80s post-punk” or “Poppy shoegaze”. The AI then throws suggestions that users can save or mess around with.
Currently, “Ask Music” is only available to YouTube Music Premium subscribers. The user will be able to save the tracks from playlists in their library and give feedback based on the suggestions. It gives feedback that will enhance AI recommendations in the future.
Although in limited regions now, YouTube Music plans global expansion, The feature is live in Canada and Australia and in test mode in the US it soon will reach more countries.
This new feature currently is available only on Android devices. An iOS version has not been developed yet, but it should roll out soon.
