YouTube Help (captured 2026-10-23): the Studio "Inspiration tab" generated AI ideas, titles, thumbnails, outlines and hooks from channel data (nine ideas per load; idea cards with audience-interest indicators, aggregated comment insights, channel alignment and related videos), desktop only and English only, with a warning that ideas may be inaccurate or inappropriate. YouTube states it is gradually deprecating the Inspiration tab starting August 2026 in favour of "Ask Studio". Thumbnails generated there may carry a signed C2PA manifest that other platforms can read when reused (linking to auto-labelling via C2PA on YouTube/Meta, C3-B335-02, C3-B363-01). Use: platform-native ideation grounded in the creator's own analytics; still subject to originality/inauthentic-content rules.
