YouTube Music is experimenting with a new AI-powered radio feature, similar to Spotify’s AI DJ.
This feature, currently in testing, allows users to input their music preferences and receive a personalized AI-generated radio station.
Key points:
- Users can access the feature by tapping “Ask for music any way you like.”
- A chat window opens for users to enter their music preferences.
- The AI generates a radio station based on the input.
- Additional prompts help refine suggestions.
- Users can save generated stations to their library.
Google notes that the feature’s “quality and accuracy may vary” as it’s AI-powered. The new feature is not yet widely available and is likely to roll out to YouTube Music Premium subscribers first.
This development comes as YouTube Music continues to evolve, aiming to compete more effectively with other streaming services like Spotify.
While YouTube Music has been making improvements, such as redesigning its Android app’s artist page UI, it still lacks some features found in competing platforms.
