Often, while working or studying, we have to read 20-30 pages of reports, which wastes a lot of time. Google's new feature is eliminating this problem. It doesn't just read the words, but also understands the theme of the entire document and creates a smart summary. This means you'll hear only the most important things.

How does the new AI audio summary feature work?
This feature isn't limited to simply reading text. Gemini AI first understands the document's content, identifies key points, and then creates a brief audio summary. The audio will typically be a few minutes long. The language is natural and conversational. A quick summary of reports, project documents, or notes will be available. This is especially useful for users who want to access information while multitasking.
Where did the inspiration come from?
The biggest feature of this feature is its voice. Google created it using the technology of NotebookLM. It offers voice options like Narrator, Persuader, and Coach. It provides the same experience as listening to a podcast. You can adjust the playback speed and skip to important parts. Google has also assured that this AI will not add any fabricated information. The audio will be based entirely on the facts in your document.
Who will have access to it?
Currently, this premium experience is only available to paid users of Google Workshop. If you have the Business Standard, Plus, Enterprise Standard, or Google AI Ultra for Business add-on, Google AI Pro for Education add-on, and Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers can enjoy this feature. Administrators will not need to enable it separately; it will be visible directly in the user interface.
