As announced earlier this week, the Gemini application obtains the possibility of generating overview podcasts, with Android and iOS Users are starting to see this ability today.
Audio previews have widely deployed on the web For free Gemini and advanced subscribers in English, with more languages to come soon.
On mobile, the download of a document or a slideshow will display a new suggestion chip “generating an overview” alongside “Talk Live on this subject” (which has not entirely launched on Android). You can also open the Overflow menu in deep search reports to generate a podcast.
After typing, it takes a few minutes for the conversation between two hosts to generate. Google will send a notification when it is ready. The other way of access is to go to the history of cats in the upper left corner of the home screen. Before today’s launch, you cannot access previous audio previews in your mobile history.
Something unexpected about this capacity is how the Gemini application does not have an integrated audio player. Instead, the “Gemini Audio Presentation” tapping directly opens the file (.M4A) to a browser tab. As such, you interact with the player Chrome, iOS, etc. By default, although it allows simple downloads. This is strange since Gemini.google.com has an online reader for audio previews.
These podcasts can last up to several minutes, in order to “summarize the material, to draw connections between subjects, to engage in a dynamic back and forth and to provide unique perspectives.” One thing to keep in mind with audio previews based on files is that conversation is based on this source and not on real knowledge. It is different with deep podcasts derived from research.
