YouTube Tests AI Search Summaries on Videos
YouTube's new feature summarizes videos with AI — so you don't even have to watch. YouTube is testing out a new AI search feature to help users find content faster — but the tool could negate the need to click into a YouTube video and give creators watch time. The AI overviews, which YouTube introduced on Thursday to Premium members in the U.S., will populate at the top of the results page in response to a search query. The AI tool will present suggested video clips in a carousel format, alongside brief AI summaries of the videos. For example, if a Premium user searches for "best beaches in Hawaii" on YouTube, the results will display a carousel with AI-suggested video clips and AI-written summaries of each video. Related: 'It's Extraordinary': This Is the Biggest Bet Google Is Making, According to Its Chief Investment Officer There's a catch that could impact content creators: AI summaries will extract the information most relevant to the search query, so users can potentially find the answers to their query in a written AI summary without even clicking into the full video. Users can also tap video thumbnails to play AI-recommended video clips directly from the carousel, reducing the need to navigate away from the AI search page to watch the entire video. So while YouTube's AI search results could make it easier for users to find what they are looking for, it could also mark an unwanted change for creators who depend on user engagement to earn money on the platform. The new feature is similar to AI overviews from YouTube's parent company, Google. AI overviews, which Google introduced last year, provide AI summaries of search results at the top of Google Search. The tool has had a devastating effect on search traffic for news publishers. A Wall Street Journal report earlier this month showed that Google's AI overviews drastically reduced traffic for publishers. Business Insider, for example, saw its traffic decline by 55% from April 2022 to April 2025, causing the publication to cut about 21% of its staff last month. Related: Google's AI Overview Has Changed Since Its Debut, and These Websites Have Benefitted the Most Nicholas Thompson, chief executive of The Atlantic, told The Wall Street Journal that "Google is shifting from being a search engine to an answer engine" and that publishers "have to develop new strategies" in response. For now, the new feature is limited to searches on shopping, travel, or activities in specific locations. Premium members can access the feature by enabling it on YouTube's experimental page. The page shows that AI search results are available until July 30 and are only available on iOS and Android for English-language videos. If YouTube were a stand-alone business, it would be worth up to $550 billion, making it one of the largest media companies in the world, according to analysts at research institute MoffettNathanson. Similarweb estimates that YouTube is the second-most visited site in the world, behind Google.

YouTube search gets its own version of Google's AI Overviews
Google is bringing an AI Overviews-like feature to another product: YouTube. The video streaming platform may now show an 'AI-powered search results carousel' when some YouTube Premium members in the US make searches related to 'shopping, travel, or things to do in a specific place,' according to a blog post. As shown in a video, the search results carousel will show a big video clip up top, thumbnails to a selection of other relevant video clips directly under that, and an AI-generated bit of text responding to your query. To see a full video, tap on the big clip at the top of the carousel. The feature is currently only accessible on iOS and Android and for videos in English and will be available to test until July 30th, per the YouTube experiments page. Additionally, only a 'randomly selected number of Premium members' will have access to it, YouTube says in a support document. YouTube is also broadening its conversational AI tool that lets you ask questions about a video to 'some non-Premium users in the US.' The feature was initially introduced in 2023.

YouTube has a new trick to help you find what you're looking for faster
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube is rolling out an AI-powered search results carousel for Premium members on the mobile app. This carousel may appear when you search for queries related to shopping, places, or things to do. The platform's conversational AI tool is also opening up to some non-Premium users in the US. YouTube is getting two AI-related updates to make it easier for users to find what they're looking for and get more information. One of these updates is exclusive for Premium members, while the other is a previously exclusive feature that's now opening up to some non-Premium users. In a blog post, YouTube revealed it's introducing a new AI-powered search results carousel to the mobile app. This feature will generate relevant video suggestions and topic descriptions when you perform a search. As the company explains, this carousel won't appear on every search, but you may see it pop up for queries related to shopping, places, or things to do in a specific location. For example, if you typed 'Best beaches in Hawaii,' you may see a carousel of highlights appear below the search bar. These highlights are clips of videos from creators across YouTube that are relevant to your search. Below these clips, you'll see descriptions explaining how the clips are related to your search, like a synopsis of one of the suggested beaches. You'll also be able to tap on the thumbnails to skip to different clips, and tapping on the clip will take you to the full video, picking up from where you left off. The AI-powered carousel is available starting today. However, it is currently only available to Premium subscribers in the US. The company didn't say if this feature will eventually expand to other markets. In addition to the carousel rollout, YouTube is making its conversational AI feature available to some non-Premium users. This AI chatbot first debuted in 2023, allowing Premium members to ask questions about a video, get suggestions for related content, and more without interrupting the viewing experience. This update is expected to arrive in the coming weeks, but the expansion will only be for users in the US. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

Gold Continues Holding 23.6% & 38.2% Retracements Keeping the Trend Positive.
Gold The chart is key to this analysis. Each setback in the Gold market has held either a 23.6%, or 38.2% retracement keeping the trend very strong. Some of the ONE44 rules and guidelines are below and the New Video will explain more about the Fibonacci retracement. Back on 6/7//24 the market held 23.6% back to the 2022 low and then again on 6/27/24. That sent the market on to a new high as it should when holding that retracement. The next setback held 38.2% back to the 6/7/24 low at 2660.00 on 11/14/24 and then again on 12/19/24 before sending it on to a new high again. There was a minor setback on 2/28/25 that held 23.6% at 2930.00 and a new high followed. The next setback on 4/7/25 held 38.2% back to the 11/14/24 low at 2996.00 and one of the sharpest rallies happened. (over $500 in 10 trading days). The latest low held 38.2% back to the 11/14/24 low at 3196.00. We are still looking for a new high from this retracement, but as always will watch every retracement on the move up to see just how strong, or weak the market is regardless of the longer term target. There is more on this in the new video below. New Video In this Educational Video we will go over the Grain/Livestock markets that we cover for our Premium Members. We also cover Gold, SP500. Bitcoin and DOGE Crypto. These we cover on a weekly basis for free at the current time. You can sign up here for Gold, Crude Oil, SP50 & Bitcoin Updates. There are two methods we use at ONE44 to find support and resistance in the markets. The first are major Gann squares, these are the yellow horizontal lines on the chart. On the chart you can see where the market turned multiple times at these levels. The second is Fibonacci retracements and this is what most of this post will be about. There are a few basic rules when using the Fibonacci retracements with the ONE44 rules and guidelines. This is the short version. A 38.2% level keeps the trend intact and new highs/lows should follow. A 23.6% level shows the market is extremely strong, or weak. A 61.8% level can send the market 61.8% of where it just can from and cause wide swings keeping the market in a trading range. A 78.6% level can send it 78.6% of where it just came from and even be the end or start of a Bull market. ONE44 Analytics where the analysis is concise and to the point Our goal is to not only give you actionable information, but to help you understand why we think this is happening based on pure price analysis with Fibonacci retracements, that we believe are the underlying structure of all markets and Gann squares. If you like this type of analysis and trade the Grain/Livestock futures you can become a Premium Member. You can also follow us on YouTube for more examples of how to use the Fibonacci retracements with the ONE44 rules and guidelines.

Huge cashback site ‘sneakily' axes key perk for thousands of customers leaving them furious
QUIDCO customers have slammed the service for 'sneakily' removing a key perk which has left thousands of customers furious. Cashback sites like Quidco pay users a percentage of the cost of an online purchase. 1 Retailers use services like these in a bid to win over customers, by giving them something back in return for their custom. Up until this month, Quidco offered a ' Highest Cashback Guarantee ', which offered to match any other rates from a UK-based competitor. The pledge meant they not only matched the top rate available, but also added more on top, so the customer would get the highest rate of cashback. Basic users could get an extra 2 per cent of the competitor's rate as a bonus, while Premium users could get double the difference. This was a significant perk for users, typically adding a few more pounds back on a big ticket spend. If for example a Premium member found Quidco's rate was 10 per cent on a purchase, while a competitor was offering 15 per cent, then the site would take the difference - 5 per cent - and then double it to 10 per cent. This would then be added to Quidco's advertised rate of 10 per cent, meaning they would have got a total 20 per cent cashback. So on a £100 spend - £20 would be given back. Basic members got an extra 2 per cent of their rate on top. So in the example above, they would have got the top rate of 15 per cent, plus 2 per cent of that, which works out to 0.3 per cent. The final rate on a £100 spend would have been 15.3 per cent, or £15.30. Switch bank accounts for free perks To claim the difference, users had to submit a form within 72 hours of making the purchase, and supply a dated screenshot showing the competitor's rate. But members, who pay £1 of their cashback earnings per month to be a Premium member, have recently discovered that any mention of Quidco's guarantee and the claim form has disappeared from its website. One said on 'It appears Quidcon have sneakily removed the "Highest Cashback Guarantee" and the double the difference for Premium members. 'I think they're very dishonest since as far as I know they have not notified me of this fact even though it is a significant change in their terms.' Another added: 'I am surprised they pulled it though because that was the only thing good about them but I gave up on them many months ago & only used them if there was a significant difference but I still lost more than I benefited.' Discussing the same issue on another Quidco fan said: 'It's been removed completely, and the chatbot confirms they do not offer it. 'Like it never existed, they could have given a notice to say no longer offered. I have paid premium too, not worth it imo.' Quidco said: "We regularly check to make sure we're giving Quidco members the best possible value. 'As part of this ongoing review, the cashback guarantee has recently been withdrawn and we've introduced new rewards, including double cashback days, flash rewards and increased bonuses, that are even more tailored to our members' shopping needs. "We value the feedback from our members, which plays a vital role in helping us improve our offers and products.' Quidco's Premium service still includes higher cashback rates, with a 10 per cent top-up at over 4,500 retailers, and bigger payout bonuses of up to 20 per cent more if you withdraw your money as an e-gift card. What is cashback? CASHBACK is a type of reward offered by banks, credit card providers, and retailers where customers receive a percentage of their spending back as cash. Essentially, it's a way to earn money while making purchases. For example, if your card offers 1% cashback and you spend £100, you'll earn £1 back. Cashback can be credited to your account, deducted from your balance, or saved up for future use, depending on the provider's terms. It's often offered on everyday purchases, such as groceries, fuel, or online shopping, and may be part of a promotional deal or an ongoing benefit of your account. However, remember to check the terms and conditions, as some transactions may not qualify for cashback rewards. By using cashback offers wisely, you can usually make your money go further on purchases you'd already be making. The news comes after a major bank axed its cashback scheme. Customers were fuming when Santander announced its Santander Edge or Edge Up account will no longer earn 1% cashback on certain spending from September 9. The bank confirmed it's cutting this perk due to increased costs. The Santander Edge account currently gives 1% cashback on certain household bills and spending with a debit card on supermarket shopping, fuel, and travel. Best cashback cards available Many major banks and credit card providers now include cashback rewards as part of their account perks—helping you stretch your money a little further every time you spend. These rewards work by refunding a percentage of your spending back to you, essentially giving you a small rebate on everyday purchases. One of the most competitive options is the Chase debit card, which gives users 1% cashback on most purchases, capped at £15 per month. It's simple to sign up as just an ID check is required and while a few exclusions apply, the overall offer is easy to use and rewarding. Another solid contender is the Amazon Barclaycard. Regular Amazon shoppers will benefit most here, earning 1% cashback on Amazon purchases, which increases to 2% during special events like Prime Day and Black Friday. You'll also receive 0.25% cashback on all other spending (rising to 0.5% in the first year), and there's usually a £20 Amazon voucher just for being approved. Do note, however, that after the first 12 months, you'll need to deposit £1,500 monthly to keep the cashback coming. If you're leaning toward a credit card, the American Express Cashback Everyday Credit Card is ideal for higher spenders or those planning a big purchase. It offers a generous 5% cashback for the first five months, capped at £125. Once the intro period ends, ongoing cashback of up to 1% is available, but only if you spend over £10,000 annually. If you're unlikely to meet that spending threshold, the American Express Cashback Credit Card might be more suitable. It also starts with 5% cashback for three months (again, up to £125), then shifts to 0.75% cashback on the first £10,000 per year, and 1.25% on anything above that. There is, however, a £25 annual fee to consider. For online shoppers, particularly those loyal to Amazon, the Amazon Barclaycard continues to be a standout choice for its consistent and event-based cashback boosts.
