YouTube Launches AI Custom Video Feed Tool
TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

YouTube launches an AI feature that creates custom video feeds from user text prompts describing interests or moods. Users can pin these feeds to the top of their homepage. The feature is rolling out in English to signed-in users in the US on mobile and desktop.

YouTube has begun introducing an AI capability that assembles a tailored video feed from text descriptions of desired content. The company states in its announcement that these specialized feeds can center on particular interests, moods or topics and may be pinned at the top of the homepage for quick access.

Availability and access
Users can just describe the kind of videos they want to see, from workout guides to hobby inspiration.
The rollout targets English-speaking users in the US who have signed in via the YouTube mobile app or desktop site. Visitors reach the feature by selecting the “Your custom feed” tab on the homepage and typing a description into the provided AI text field.

Prompt examples
Sample requests include asking for “help me unwind with guided meditations under 10 minutes” or “deep-dive tech podcasts about AI,” after which the system delivers a curated selection matching the input. The company notes that prompts may be revised at any time to “generate a brand new space.”

Requirements and feedback
The feature is similar to other AI-powered feed customization features from other platforms, including Spotify’s prompted playlists.
According to YouTube, the “Your custom feed” tab appears only when search and watch history remain enabled in account settings. Should the generated feed fall short, users can flag problems through the three-dot menu on the tab and choose “Something wrong?” to submit comments.

Comparisons to rival features
The approach echoes AI-driven customization already offered elsewhere, such as Spotify’s prompted playlists. Instagram expanded user influence over its Reels algorithm in December, although that relied on topic selections instead of free-form descriptive prompts.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.

Tesla and SpaceX confirm Terafab chip fab in Texas

Tesla and SpaceX have confirmed Grimes County, Texas as the site for their Terafab semiconductor megafactory, with the first phase costing roughly $16.8 billion. The project targets the largest chip manufacturing facility on the planet to supply over 1 terawatt of compute per year that exceeds current and future global production capacity.

OpenAI Urges Federal Judge to Throw Out Apple's Trade Secrets Complaint

OpenAI has filed a motion asking a federal judge to dismiss Apple's trade secrets lawsuit, describing the claims as meritless. The dispute, which follows a July suit and this week's injunction request from Apple, highlights tensions after their prior partnership on Siri and OpenAI's hardware push.

Meta introduces Muse Code, its terminal-based coding agent

Meta has released an early beta of Muse Code, a terminal-based coding agent driven by the updated Muse Spark 1.2 model and positioned against Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex. Substantially lower rates, including a contributor plan at $0.10 for every million tokens received, may encourage migration away from higher-priced options such as Anthropic's Sonnet 5.
