• Initial English Rollout: Audio Overview is initially available in English for Gemini and Gemini Advanced subscribers, with plans to introduce additional languages soon.

"We've seen tremendous excitement around Audio Overview in NotebookLM, and we're thrilled to bring this innovative feature to Gemini," Citron added. "It transforms how people engage with complex information, making learning more accessible and enjoyable."
