Скачать или смотреть Google Introduces Audio Overviews in Search Powered by Gemini AI

Ever wished your Google searches could read themselves out loud while you juggle your morning coffee and emails? Welcome to the future—or at least a sneak peek at it—with Google's new Audio Overviews feature, powered by their shiny Gemini AI.

Here’s the scoop: instead of scrolling through pages of text, you get bite-sized, podcast-style summaries for certain queries. Think of it as your personal search assistant who’s great at telling you what you need to know without you having to lift a finger (except to hit 'play').

It's not just a gimmick. This feature has been simmering behind the scenes in Google’s NotebookLM and Gemini projects where it helped turn dry notes and dense legal docs into listenable recaps. Now, it's hitting actual search results via Google Labs for select queries.

What’s neat? The player is straightforward—play/pause, volume, and direct links to the sources so you’re not lost in AI storytelling land. Plus, you get to give thumbs up or down, basically crowdsourcing quality control. It’s like giving feedback to your smart assistant so it can learn to be better at its job.

Why should you care? Well, beyond the obvious multitasking win, it moves us a step closer to more accessible tech for folks who prefer listening over reading—be it commuters, busy parents, or anyone just wanting to save eyeball energy.

But a heads-up: It’s still early days. Expect the AI to have its hiccups, maybe a robotic narrator moment or two. It’s not replacing your favorite podcasts yet—more like a nifty shortcut to info. The real question is, could this change how we consume knowledge in our daily lives? Will audio search summaries become the new normal or just a handy option?

Give it a try next time you’re Googling something and see if listening adds a new layer to your search hustle. Are we leaning into an audio-first web? Or is this just a fleeting tech fad? Curious to hear your thoughts!
