By Mat Smith May 19, 2026 1:12 pm EST Google At Google I/O 2006, YouTube unveiled more AI search hooks for its content. You'll soon be able to ask conversational questions within YouTube to find specific answers or content within the platform, similar to Google Search's AI Mode, but all in video.
Ask YouTube pulls together what it thinks are relevant videos, including long-form content and Shorts, and you'll be able to ask follow-up questions based on results to refine them further. Ask YouTube will also fold in small text summaries for a better insight into whether the video will address your questions.
Ask YouTube is currently available to YouTube Premium members in the US through the YouTube Labs page . Gemini Omni integration is also rolling out today.
