Google is testing a new feature called “Daily Listen” that automatically generates a podcast based on your Discover feed. The company confirmed that Daily Listen is a personalized audio experience powered by artificial intelligence, designed to help you stay on top of the topics that interest you.
The feature is currently being rolled out on the Google app for Android and iOS, and will be available to users in the US who have signed up for Google’s Search Labs experiment.
With Daily Listen, you’ll receive a podcast episode up to five minutes in length that gives you an overview of stories and topics that interest you. The podcast also includes links to related stories that you can click to learn more about the topics.
Daily Listen is connected to Discover, so the topics you follow on Search and Discover in the Google app help you get a personalized audio experience, according to Google.
Google also notes that Daily Listen is similar to NotebookLM’s Audio Overviews feature, which generates a podcast with AI virtual hosts based on information you’ve shared with the app, such as lessons or legal briefs. With Daily Listen, you get a quick overview of things you need to know, based on your personal interests.
If you have access to the feature, you’ll see a new “Daily Listen” section on your home screen when you open the Google app. The tab will display a play button that shows how long the podcast is, and from there you can enter the audio experience.
Once you open the feature, you can start listening to the podcast with the accompanying written transcript. You can scroll to see “related stories” that offer deeper insight into topics that interest you.
