**Excerpt:**
*”YouTube’s new AI-powered Music Assistant is transforming content creation by offering free, copyright-free background music with just a text prompt. Announced in April 2025, this tool—currently in beta—allows creators to generate custom tracks (e.g., ‘upbeat electronic for a travel vlog’) directly in YouTube Studio, bypassing licensing hurdles. Part of YouTube’s broader AI push, it outshines competitors like Meta’s AudioCraft with seamless platform integration. Early demos highlight its simplicity, from generation to editing, promising to democratize professional soundtracks for creators of all sizes. As YouTube expands access, Music Assistant could redefine video scoring, saving time, money, and legal headaches—making high-quality content creation more accessible than ever.”*
