And they are able to let you do a lot of similar things where you can have conversations about shows, actors, scenes.

Roku has upgraded their voice assistant to handle some open-ended questions about movies.

Netflix is also testing its own AI-powered search experience.

So I think beyond just conversational prompts, YouTube is also layering AI into other parts of their TV ecosystem.

They had a recent feature where they basically automatically...

enhance lower resolution uploads to full HD.

This is really fascinating to me.

I mean, I know this costs a lot for them, a lot of compute, but personally, I think this is a great feature.

Now, why is this a great feature?

Sometimes when you're watching a news clip or some sort of live world event that's happening, I think YouTube is trying to become more and more popular for that.

Sometimes those are taken on low quality cell phones out of, you know, maybe people have less high quality phones in other parts of the world.

They're uploading clips.

And if you could get those in auto enhance, which, you know, AI is pretty good at, this could basically make them better and more digestible and easier for people to watch.

So I think that's kind of cool.

They also have a comment summarizer.

They have an AI search result carousel, which is trying to help people navigate content more efficiently.

In January, YouTube also announced that creators are going to be able to generate shorts using AI-created versions of their own likeness.

And last week, YouTube launched a dedicated app for the Apple Vision Pro, which lets users watch content in a theater-sized virtual screen.

So I think taking everything together, Google is definitely firing on all cylinders.

Gemini 3.1 Pro is doing incredible on the benchmarks.
