YouTube has announced a new tool called Music Assistant, which allows content creators to generate background music for videos using artificial intelligence, TechCrunch reports.
The new feature, which was demonstrated in a video on the Creator Insider channel, is available on the Creator Music platform, where users can enter text queries or specify desired instruments, moods, or video types in the Music Assistant tab. Based on these queries, AI generates several options for free tracks that can be downloaded and used in videos.
The feature is gradually being rolled out to creators who have access to Creator Music as part of the YouTube Partner Program.
YouTube has previously started testing a “Dream Track” feature, which is based on DeepMind Lyria technology and allows you to create short tracks in the style of famous artists. However, it is currently only available for instrumental music. The company has reportedly started working on integrating Dream Track into Creator Music.
