Ask Studio is an AI-powered partner that’s always ready to help you make the most of your channel. If you’ve clicked on Ask Studio, checked out the suggested chips, but then felt stuck on what to do next or are unsure of how to get the most out of it, I have some prompting pro tips for you.
Here’s how to get started with YouTube Studio’s incredibly powerful Ask Studio tool, so you can unlock even more insights about your channel, videos, and audience.
Use natural language
Just tell Ask Studio what you’re curious about or what you want to know the same way you’d ask a friend or colleague, even using complete sentences. Ask Studio knows all of the details and lingo, but it also knows how to take simpler wording and make the connections for you.
Be detailed
In other words, help Ask Studio help you. Here are some tips:
- Be clear: Instead of “Give me ideas from the comments,” try “Based on the comments in my Short ‘Best Moments From the World Championships,’ give me three ideas for my next video.”
- Be concise: Instead of reinventing terms, use the labels you’re familiar with from YouTube analytics like “Traffic Sources” or “New Viewers” to help Ask Studio identify and pull the correct data.
- Give context: Instead of an open-ended “Give me a title,” try “Give me a catchy title for my video that’s about the best moments from the world championships, made for a new audience.”
- Be conversational: Instead of making a one-and-done request like, “What are the main themes appearing in the comments of my latest video,” once you get a response, follow up with further questions like, “Looking at the feedback on that video, summarize why viewers are asking for more comparisons.”
Leverage your creative partner
Ask Studio is meant to be a creative partner, a tool you can jam with to overcome the tyranny of the blank page and more rapidly iterate on your ideas.
It understands your specific channel and brand and will provide personalized recommendations; and your channel data is private and secure, visible only to you. You’re always the one in control, whether you’re roasting video outlines or brainstorming thumbnail concepts. There are no bad questions and no wrong ways to use it – only opportunities to learn and explore.
Ask Studio is always expanding and improving, so keep trying new and different prompts, even ones that may not have worked the way you expected before.
