YouTube Music is adding a new AI-powered feature, wherein the tools will enhance the experience about how users create playlists. The Google-owned platform has introduced an AI Playlist tool for Premium subscribers. This will allow you to generate playlists by simply describing what you want to listen. The newly introduced features are part of Google’s strategy to improve music discovery with artificial intelligence.
What is the YouTube Music AI Playlist Feature
YouTube’s new AI Playlist feature is eligible for YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium subscribers. The feature will work on both Android and iOS devices. If you are a premium member, then you can create a playlist by typing or speaking prompt. The tool will then create custom based mix for you.
You can enter prompts like ’90’s hits’, ‘relaxing music’, ‘hip-hop’, ‘devotion songs’, and more. Additionally, you can also give long prompts such as ‘workout mix with high energy songs’, or ‘best songs for sleeping’, or ‘relaxing music for night study.’ The AI system will understand your prompts and create the mood, genre, or theme and then select songs accordingly based on your interest.
