Google unveils 'Audio overviews' for search results
Google just launched Audio Overviews—a feature that lets you listen to quick, AI-generated summaries of your search results. Powered by Gemini, it's perfect if you like learning on the go or just want info without staring at your screen.
How to use audio overviews
Right now, it's available in Google Labs for US users. When helpful, you'll see a "Generate Audio Overview" button on your search page. Hit play to hear a short summary and check out handy links if you want more details. It's all about making search faster and easier to digest.
Gemini AI powers the audio summaries
Audio Overviews use Google's latest Gemini AI to keep things clear and conversational—no robotic monotone here. After showing up first in NotebookLM, this feature is now part of Search as Google keeps finding new ways to make info more accessible for everyone.
