Exploring Google AI's Revolutionary New Tool for Podcast Creation from Notes
What is the Audio Overview Tool?
Audio Overview stands as an innovative new AI tool that can convert your documents and notes into audio discussions. This feature creates two AI hosts who engage in a lively discussion based on your input sources. They summarize material, make connections between topics, and engage in light banter. As described by Google Labs' product manager, Biao Wang, users can even download the conversation for on-the-go listening.
How to Utilize Audio Overview?
- Access an existing notebook.
- Open your notebook guide.
- Click the generate button to create an Audio Overview.
According to Wang, the Audio Overview is still in its experimental phase and carries certain limitations. For instance, generating an Audio Overview can take several minutes for larger notebooks. Additionally, while AI hosts currently only speak English, they may sometimes introduce inaccuracies, and as of now, interruptions during their discussions are not possible.
