Google just rolled out ‘Daily Listen

Google just rolled out ‘Daily Listen’, a new experimental AI feature in Search Labs that transforms users' search interests and browsing data into personalized five-minute podcasts.

The feature generates 5-minute AI-voiced podcasts based on users' Google Search history and Discover feed preferences.
Daily Listen appears in the Google mobile app's homepage, featuring real-time transcripts and related story links for deeper exploration.
The experiment is currently limited to U.S. users who opt into Search Labs, with content currently only available in English.
The feature is a similar format to Google's NotebookLM Audio Overviews, focusing on news and updates rather than document summaries.

Google stumbled onto lightning in a bottle with NotebookLM, and now its bringing the style to other formats as well. As attention spans get shorter and shorter, quick, engaging podcast summaries like these may become a standard way for how many users (particularly auditory learners) prefer to consume information.
