- Google is experimenting with Audio Overviews in search results. It produces a short, AI-generated audio clip that explains the topic for you.
- You can also explore the source pages while listening to the audio clip.
- You need to enable the new search feature in Google Labs to access it.
Google is rapidly integrating AI features into its products. This time, Google is bringing ‘Audio Overviews’, similar to NotebookLM’s popular AI podcast feature on its search page. If you search for a long-tail topic, Google may offer a short AI-generated audio overview on the search page, which you can listen to understand the topic easily.
This doesn’t work for all search queries. If the system determines that your search query requires an audio overview, it’s generated on the fly. For example, if you search “how do noise cancellation headphones work,” Google will produce an audio overview (about 3-4 minutes), explaining the topic on the search page, just like NotebookLM’s AI podcast , but shorter.
Google says the feature is currently in an experimental state, and users have to manually turn it on from Google Labs . Do note that initially, it’s available in a select few regions only. Google has also launched Portraits , an experimental AI feature that uses a digital avatar of an expert and Gemini to answer complex questions.
