YouTube’s trotted out new conversational AI features for Android users and they may help users avoid clickbait content.

The experiment uses conversational AI to answer questions about the videos you’re watching. The AI can also recommend content and help you learn while you watch. It won’t disrupt video playback.
If you’re interested, here’s what you need to have in order to use the latest YouTube AI features.
How to Use YouTube AI Features
In order to take part in Google/YouTube’s AI experiments, you need to have a YouTube Premium account. YouTube Premium isn’t free.
The company does offer a free two month trial and then it will cost $13.99 per month. Users can cancel the trial at any time, free of charge.
YouTube Premium subscribers will need the latest version of the Android app installed. The experiments, and AI features, are only available to users in the United States.
Eligible users need to open up the YouTube app and start watching a video. An “Ask” prompt will appear below eligible videos.
From there, users can ask questions about the video they are watching or choose from available preset prompts. Sharing feedback is done with a thumbs up or down.
Keep in mind, only some videos will work with the AI technology. If a video is compatible, users won’t see the “Ask” option.
