YouTube Music’s AI Revolution: Create Playlists with a Vibe
Can't find the right words for your mood? Just ask the AI. On February 10, 2026, YouTube Music officially rolled out its AI-powered playlist generator for Premium subscribers on iOS and Android. This new tool, powered by Google’s Gemini infrastructure, allows you to transform simple text or voice prompts—like "melancholic post-rock for a rainy afternoon" or "raging death metal"—into curated, savable soundtracks.
In this episode, we explore how YouTube is leveraging its massive catalog of official tracks, live sessions, and rare remixes to compete with Spotify’s Prompted Playlists. We’ll walk you through the steps to access it in your Library tab, discuss why Google is putting more features like song lyrics behind the Premium paywall, and analyze if this "vibe-first" listening experience is enough to make YouTube Music the king of streaming in 2026.
