YouTube’s AI search is now available across all major screens.
Ask YouTube on TV and desktop

Searching for something online by simply describing what you want is becoming pretty normal now. Google Search can do it. ChatGPT can do it. And YouTube has been slowly turning its own search box into something that works in a similar fashion.

YouTube has now announced a wider rollout for Ask YouTube, its conversational AI search tool. The feature is available to users in the U.S. across the web, mobile devices, and TVs. Mobile is the newest addition here, after Ask YouTube previously expanded to the web and smart TVs. Instead of putting a few keywords into the search bar, you can ask YouTube a complete question, describe what you are looking for, and then refine the results using follow-up questions.

In a span of just one week, I have built a full-fledged Android app for my Galaxy Z Fold 8 foldable phone, three Mac apps, and an iPhone app. And here's the fun part. The entire journey of creating these apps actually started on a phone, jumped to my MacBook Neo, compiled just fine, and ran flawlessly, without making me want to tear my hair off. The latest example? 

It built my calendar-clipboard hybrid app in Terminal within 20 seconds, and an on-device transcription app with a retro look in roughly 15 seconds. I used to think building desktop software would have me burning the midnight oil. The MacBook Neo did it in less time than I can pour myself a can of soda and take the first sip.
