YouTube Studio Now Lets Creators Brainstorm Video Ideas with the Help of AI



At its Made on YouTube event on Wednesday, YouTube announced that creators can now brainstorm ideas for videos with the help of AI right within YouTube Studio. This new feature, which was beta tested in May, allows creators to enter a prompt that helps them brainstorm ideas across specific topics. The feature draws on a creator’s comments and what’s trending to give creators a list of video ideas.

For instance, a creator may be getting several comments asking for a follow-up on a certain topic. “When you go into the Inspiration Tab now, instead of having this sort of search box type thing, it’s here are 10 ideas to get you started. And then, creators start to riff on that,” said Ebi Atawodi, YouTube Studio’s director of product management.

In the coming months, once creators get started with an outline, YouTube Studio will suggest a series of AI-generated thumbnails that they can use for the video. If they don’t quite like the images that YouTube has created, they can enter a prompt to receive a specific sort of image by using descriptions like “surreal and unexpected” or “minimalist.”

As for the new AI-assisted comments, YouTube sees the new feature as a way to make it easier for creators to engage with their audiences by quickly responding to comments. The company says the feature recommends responses that are tailored to a creator’s style to give them a helpful starting point.

The feature is similar to replies on Gmail, as it gives you an option for a quick response. For instance, if a viewer leaves a comment on a creator’s video complimenting them, the platform will suggest responding to it with a reply that says “Thank you so much!”

Considering that coming up with responses to a high volume of comments is time-consuming, YouTube believes that by making it quicker and easier for creators to respond to the viewers, they will be able to reply to more comments than they were previously able to.

YouTube will begin testing AI-assisted comment reply in the coming weeks before rolling out the feature more broadly next year, while AI-generated thumbnails will launch sometime this year.

This new feature is part of YouTube’s efforts to incorporate its own AI into its video platform, encouraging creators to use its AI tools instead of other popular platforms like OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
