YouTube Launches Free AI Music Generator for Creators

The new 'Music Assistant' tool in Creator Music allows U.S. creators to generate custom, copyright-safe instrumental tracks using text prompts.

YouTube has introduced 'Music Assistant,' an AI-powered tool that lets creators generate custom instrumental music for their videos at no cost.
The tool is integrated into the Creator Music marketplace and is gradually rolling out to eligible U.S.-based creators in the YouTube Partner Program.
Creators can input detailed text prompts specifying mood, instruments, and video type to produce tailored music tracks.
The AI-generated tracks are designed to be copyright-safe, addressing a longstanding challenge for content creators on the platform.
YouTube will collect user prompts to refine the tool, with data stored for up to 30 days to improve its functionality.
