YouTube is testing a new AI chatbot that can answer questions about a video without the viewer having to pause it. The chatbot can summarize the video, discuss a specific section, or answer questions about a product review or educational video.
As mentioned by Android Authority, the feature is pretty responsive and the answers it provides are also quite accurate. Which leads them to speculate that the AI could be pre-analyzing the video even before you use the feature. This could likely be the case, as the Ask button won’t show up if you try to play a video that is not completely in English.
The chatbot is currently in testing and only available to YouTube Premium users in the US.
