Google is testing an experimental AI function that creates a customized podcast utilizing your Search and Uncover feed historical past. The Day by day Pay attention function in Google’s Search Labs is rolling out to Android and iOS customers within the US in response to 9to5Google, and works equally to the Audio Overviews function for Google’s NotebookLM undertaking.
Day by day Pay attention references search knowledge and Uncover feed interactions to evaluate which information articles could be of most curiosity to the consumer, after which summarizes these tales and matters right into a roughly five-minute audio overview. It supplies a textual content transcript, alongside audio scrubber controls that enable customers to play, pause, mute, rewind, or skip to the subsequent story.
Search Labs customers who opt-in to do that experiment will discover Day by day Pay attention within the personalised widget carousel beneath the Search bar on the high of the Google app. A “Associated tales” tab will seem on the backside of the audio participant that corresponds to content material inside the overview that enables customers to love or disapprove of every story with a thumbs up/down, and discover new matters.
There’s at present no phrase on when/if this function will likely be rolled out to the broader public. Google’s AI Search Overviews have been examined in an identical manner through Search Labs earlier than launching to a common viewers final yr, so it’s doable that Day by day Pay attention might in the future change into a persistent function — hopefully one which’s simpler to choose out of than AI Overviews.
