Google says this is only “an early look at what’s possible with this feature,” adding that it plans to continue “building and refining it” based on feedback. Since launching Audio Overviews last year, Google has expanded it to more than 200 countries and added a range of new features, giving you the ability to “guide” the AI hosts of the conversation and even interact with them.

Google has also brought Audio Overviews to its Gemini AI chatbot and Google Docs, allowing you to convert even more kinds of written material into AI podcasts.
