Overview
- The rollout is live for Google Workspace Business Standard and Plus, Enterprise Standard and Plus, and Google One AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers.
- A new Audio Overview button in the web PDF viewer opens a Gemini panel that creates the summary in a few minutes, with an email alert when it is ready and immediate playback available.
- Summaries run two to ten minutes and are aimed at long, text-heavy documents such as industry reports, contracts, and meeting transcripts.
- Each audio file is automatically stored in a new “Audio overviews” folder in Drive and can be accessed on mobile or desktop, which 9to5Google notes improves centralization compared with Gemini chats.
- At launch the feature supports English only and uses the same underlying technology that powers NotebookLM’s audio capabilities.
