YouTube Music is preparing to offer a new artificial intelligence radio feature, following in the footsteps of its rival Spotify. The leading music streaming platform already integrates AI into its service, allowing users to create playlists and stations through text requests. Now, YouTube Music is also experimenting with a similar feature, called Request Music.
A user from Reddit reported having accessed this new experimental feature of YouTube Music. When clicking on the “Request music as you like” option, a chat window opens where the user can enter their musical preferences. From there, YouTube Music creates a personalized playlist.
The function is reminiscent of Spotify’s AI DJ, an AI DJ that generates a personalized radio station based on the user’s preferences. However, unlike Spotify, the YouTube Music version does not include an AI voice that comments on the music selections.
After generating a custom playlist, the YouTube Music feature provides more suggestions to refine the selections at the bottom of the screen. If the user is satisfied with the generated list, they can save it to their personal library. Google points out that the quality and accuracy of the AI may vary as it is an experimental feature.

The “Ask for Music” feature was initially discovered in a teardown of the YouTube Music app for Android (v7.06.53) carried out by Android Authority. Although it is currently not available for all users, it is expected to start rolling out in the next few days, probably exclusively for YouTube Premium subscribers.
Google has been integrating AI into various services such as Gmail and Drive, and now it seeks to do the same with YouTube Music. Additionally, the company has been working in recent months to improve the user experience on the platform, including a feature that allows you to hum a song to find out its name.
