- YouTube Music is testing AI hosts that will share trivia and commentary about your favorite tracks.
- This is quite similar to Spotify’s AI DJ feature that came out almost two years ago.
- YouTube is also introducing YouTube Labs, where users can try out new and upcoming AI-powered additions to the app.
YouTube Music is introducing a new AI host feature, which will talk you through stories, trivia, and commentary about your favorite tracks, similar to Spotify’s popular AI DJ feature.
YouTube Tests out AI Hosts and YouTube Labs
After coming out with the “Ask for Music” feature earlier this March, which let users create custom radio stations using prompts, YouTube Music is now adding another AI-powered feature to the app. The new AI hosts that YouTube announced in its blog post will share interesting facts, tidbits, and other details of the songs that you love.
This seems like YouTube’s version of Spotify’s AI DJ , which came out two years ago and offers the same functionality. However, given that the blog mentions “hosts,” there is a possibility that there might be more than one host. I suspect that YouTube could be using the same NotebookLM AI podcast hosts for this feature.

That said, the new AI hosts feature is available from the YouTube Labs program . This is similar to Google Labs, where users can try out experimental AI features. It is available for free, so it won’t require a YouTube Premium membership . However, it is currently limited to US users only.
