It’s now possible to ask questions to / chat with Gen AI about YouTube videos, directly on YouTube.
Top #1 use case: “summarize this video”.
This will save hours of time (per…day? week? month?).
It’s much more effective than watching the video at 2x speed and/or skimming through it.
Think of the likes of “10 reasons to do foo” or “Top 10 videogames / books of 2025” or “20 best travel destinations this Summer” or “How to make perfect sourdough bread in 5 easy steps”.
Now there’s no need to watch the video whatsoever, hunting for each individual piece of information.
I honestly have no idea how this helps the monetization strategy of the company. If anything, this will make me spend even less time browsing random videos.
