Overview

• Audio Overviews are available as an opt-in Search Labs experiment for U.S. users on mobile and desktop devices.
• The feature leverages Google’s latest Gemini models to produce two-voice conversational summaries lasting roughly 30 seconds to five minutes.
• Users can tweak playback speed from 0.25× to 2×, pause or replay the audio, and explore citations linking back to the original web pages.
• Summaries appear only for queries Google's system deems sufficiently complex, offering a hands-free way to absorb information while multitasking.
• Participants can rate each overview with thumbs up or down, and some testers report the AI voices sound lifelike despite occasional mispronunciations or awkward phrasing.
