AI Tutorial

Turns your docs into podcasts with AI hosts on your phone

Google’s Gemini app now lets users generate and play AI-powered, podcast-style summaries of documents directly within the app on both Android and iOS.

  1. Uploading a document or slide deck to Gemini on the mobile app (or the web) now triggers a ā€œGenerate Audio Overviewā€ option.

  2. After generating an Audio Overview, you can find the audio file in your chat or notification history.

  3. Tap on the Audio Overview. Instead of redirecting you to a browser, the Gemini app now opens a dedicated audio player interface.

  4. You can use the built-in controls to play, pause, rewind, or skip forward in 10-second increments, and adjust playback speed using the controls on the left side of the player.

  5. Download the audio file directly from the player if you want offline access or prefer to listen later.

The AI podcast draws out key points, summarizes content, and explores connections between topics—providing a richer understanding than a simple text summary.
