Google is enhancing its AI capabilities across several platforms. NotebookLM, the AI-powered research tool, is expanding its "Audio Overviews" feature to approximately 75 languages, including less common ones such as Icelandic, Basque, and Latin. This enhancement will enable users worldwide to listen to AI-generated summaries of documents, web pages, and YouTube transcripts, making research more accessible. The audio for each language is generated by AI agents using metaprompting, with the Gemini 2.5 Pro language model as the underlying system, moving towards audio production technology based entirely on Gemini’s multimodality.
These Audio Overviews are designed to distill a mix of documents into a scripted conversation between two synthetic hosts. Users can direct the tone and depth through prompts, and then download an MP3 or keep playback within the notebook. This expansion rebuilds the speech stack and language detection while maintaining a one-click flow. Early testers have reported that multilingual voices make long reading lists easier to digest and provide an alternative channel for blind or low-vision audiences.
In addition to NotebookLM enhancements, Google Gemini is receiving AI-assisted image editing capabilities. Users will be able to modify backgrounds, swap objects, and make other adjustments to both AI-generated and personal photos directly within the chat interface. These editing tools are being introduced gradually for users on web and mobile devices, supporting over 45 languages in most countries. To access the new features on your phone, users will need the latest version of the Gemini app.
