Summary

  • Search engine giant Google has added a new feature to its AI Gemini model, which can turn documents into podcast-style audio discussions.
  • Called “Audio Overviews”, the function generates an audio file from uploaded documents, slides, and reports, which can then be discussed by two AI hosts.
  • To generate the audio, a file is uploaded to the Gemini website or app, after which a Generate Audio Overview button will appear.
  • The file is then converted, and once complete a notification will appear, where the generated audio can be played.
  • The function is intended to create easier accessibility to a larger group by those who consume information auditorily.
