YouTube Adds AI Tools to Help Creators Grow

YouTube unveiled new AI-powered features for its Studio app at its annual Made On YouTube event. Updates include expanding its Ask Studio Q&A tool to iOS and Android, AI-driven draft feedback on pacing and storytelling, a research feed showing trending content, and AI-generated thumbnails and titles tailored to a creator's style. Creators can now test up to three thumbnail options across different audience segments, with Studio set to automatically swap underperforming thumbnails later this year. Enhanced analytics will also explain why videos perform as they do and suggest improvements. YouTube additionally introduced conversational editing for Shorts and updates to its YouTube Create app.
