Google is bringing an AI Overviews-like feature to another product: YouTube. The video streaming platform may now show an “AI-powered search results carousel” when some YouTube Premium members in the US make searches related to “shopping, travel, or things to do in a specific place,” according to a blog post.

As shown in a video, the search results carousel will show a big video clip up top, thumbnails to a selection of other relevant video clips directly under that, and an AI-generated bit of text responding to your query. To see a full video, tap on the big clip at the top of the carousel.

The feature is currently only accessible on iOS and Android and for videos in English and will be available to test until July 30th, per the YouTube experiments page. Additionally, only a “randomly selected number of Premium members” will have access to it, YouTube says in a support document.

YouTube is also broadening its conversational AI tool that lets you ask questions about a video to “some non-Premium users in the US.” The feature was initially introduced in 2023.
