YouTube Music is a popular audio streaming platform used across the globe for music listening. The company regularly brings fresh enhancements to improve the user experience. In a recent move, the company is experimenting with a generative AI feature to let users enter prompts and generate a custom radio.

First reported by 9To5Google, the feature may be available via an "Ask for music any way you like" card. The new card may show up in the Home feed for eligible users. The prompt is similar to the "Create a radio: Your music tuner" card. It gets a chat interface with a field to allow users to "Ask for music". The feature could function similarly to Spotify's AI DJ.

The interface launches as a fullscreen UI and comes with an 'Experiment' badge to allow users to be aware of the experimental nature of the feature. Users may also get the option to enter audio-based prompts. However, the app may caution that the "quality and accuracy may vary" Users should not input "confidential or personal information regarding yourself or others", the text of the feature in the screengrab noted.

The app may offer a carousel of suggested prompts to get started. These pre-defined suggestions include 'Catchy pop choruses', 'Epic soundtracks', 'Moscow rock scene' and 'Upbeat pop anthems'. The generated radio station is named based on the prompt given by the user and gets a "Created for you" label and a description.

At the time of filing, the feature is reportedly available to one Reddit user. It was earlier spotted in an APK Teardown by Android Authority. YouTube does not provide an interface to try out new experiments.
