YouTube has launched a new tool called Music Assistant that uses AI to help creators make custom, royalty-free music for their videos. This tool is part of YouTube’s Creator Music marketplace and aims to make it easier for creators to add high-quality background music to their content.
How YouTube’s Music Assistant Tool Works
With Music Assistant, creators can simply describe the type of music they need by typing a text prompt. They can mention things like the instruments they want, the mood of the music, and the type of video it’s for. Based on these descriptions, the AI will generate several music options that creators can download and use without worrying about copyright issues.

For example, a creator might ask for “calm and peaceful music with acoustic guitar and flowing piano,” or “happy mood songs with good beats.” The tool gives creators control over the generated tracks, helping them find music that fits their vision for the video.

Availability and Features of YouTube’s Music Assistant Tool
Currently, Music Assistant is being made available to creators in the US who are part of the YouTube Partner Program and have access to the Creator Music marketplace. This tool is an upgrade from YouTube’s earlier experiment, Dream Tracks, which focused on short music clips. Unlike Dream Tracks, Music Assistant helps creators make longer instrumental tracks, perfect for various types of videos.
The best part? The music generated by this tool is completely free to use, making it an affordable alternative to paying for traditional music licenses. With this tool, creators can save time and effort finding music and focus more on making their content.
