🎙️ Turn Your Google Discover Feed into Podcasts using AI

Google can now transform search results and discovery feeds into customized, AI-generated podcasts. The experimental feature, called “Daily Listen”, creates a podcast with an overview of stories and topics and an interface with links to related articles. To access Daily Listen, users must enable it through Search Labs in the Google app.

Insights for you:

  • Google has a new experimental feature called "Daily Listen" that turns users' Discover feed into personalized AI-generated podcasts.

  • Daily Listen generates 5-minute audio episodes using AI based on the user's Google Discover feed and search activity to curate relevant content. It also gives you links to related stories.

  • This Search Labs experiment is currently available to Android and iOS users in the United States.
