Google is testing an experimental AI feature that creates a personalized podcast using your Search and Discover feed history. The Daily Listen feature in Google\u2019s Search Labs is rolling out to Android and iOS users in the US according to 9to5Google<\/em><\/a>, and works similarly to the Audio Overviews feature for Google\u2019s NotebookLM project<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Daily Listen references search data and Discover feed interactions to assess which news articles would be of most interest to the user, and then summarizes those stories and topics into a roughly five-minute audio overview. It provides a text transcript, alongside audio scrubber controls that allow users to play, pause, mute, rewind, or skip to the next story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Search Labs users who opt-in to try this experiment will find Daily Listen in the personalized widget carousel underneath the Search bar at the top of the Google app. A \u201cRelated stories\u201d tab will appear at the bottom of the audio player that corresponds to content within the overview that allows users to like or disapprove of each story with a thumbs up\/down, and explore new topics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There\u2019s currently no word on when\/if this feature will be rolled out to the wider public. Google\u2019s AI Search Overviews<\/a> were tested in a similar way via Search Labs before launching to a general audience last year, so it\u2019s possible that Daily Listen may one day become a persistent feature \u2014 hopefully one that\u2019s easier to opt out<\/a> of than AI Overviews.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
