Topics summarisation by AI
According to the company, this tool uses AI to organise long comment threads under a YouTube video into themes or comment topics. The option to segregate comment topics appears on top of the comment section for those who are part of the experiment.
YouTube said creators can use these summaries to quickly jump into comment discussions on their videos and can remove any comment topic too. They would get the option to delete individual comments that show up under a specific topic too.
This experiment is currently available as an opt-in feature on the mobile app for YouTube Premium subscribers.
Conversational AI tools
This gen-AI tool works like a chatbot to provide answers to queries regarding the video that the user is watching. It is capable of providing background information, suggesting related content, and more without interrupting playback. For select academic videos, the tool can provide quizzes and respond to the queries.
Conversational AI is available under select videos for Premium Android users in the US. Those who have opted-in would see a star icon beside the Like and Share button.
