"A long, dry PDF is waiting for you on Google Drive. But you can't quite muster up the time or interest to read it. You don't have to, not when Gemini can create an interesting and entertaining audio podcast of it. As of Tuesday, Google's already popular Audio Overview feature is now built into Google Drive. Here, you can tap into Gemini to transform any PDF into a podcast narrated by two AI-generated hosts. That includes text-heavy business content like industry reports, contracts,"
"Now, instead of reading a long and dull PDF, I have to listen to a long and dull podcast. Nope, that's not how it works. First, the audio overviews are short summaries, lasting anywhere from two to no more than 10 minutes. Plus, they can be entertaining. Though the hosts are AI-generated, they add a unique flair and even an offbeat sense of humor to the conversation. No matter how dry the topic, they usually find a way to bring it to life."
Google Drive integrates the Audio Overview feature powered by Gemini to convert PDFs into short audio podcasts narrated by two AI-generated hosts. The podcasts convert text-heavy materials such as industry reports, contracts, and meeting transcripts into engaging two- to ten-minute summaries. The AI hosts add personality and light humor to enliven dry topics and produce entertaining conversations. Generated podcasts are stored alongside the original PDF in Google Drive and can be played on PC or mobile devices. Access to the feature requires a Google Workspace Business Standard/Plus or Enterprise tier, or a Google AI Pro/Ultra subscription.
