Google is launching a new experimental feature called 'Daily Listen' that uses AI to create personalized podcast-style summaries within its Discover feed. This feature curates roughly five-minute audio episodes based on a user's search history and news preferences. The system pulls together information on topics and stories the user follows, delivering it within the Google app on Android and iOS devices. Daily Listen is currently available in the US for users who have opted into Search Labs experiments, with a limited number of spots being available. The personalized podcast appears below the search bar, with a date and "Made for you" label.

Once enabled, the AI-generated episode will appear the following day in the Discover feed, providing a brief audio overview of the user’s favorite topics. The podcast includes a full-screen player with audio playback controls, a text transcript, and related stories corresponding to each section. The technology is similar to Google’s NotebookLM audio overviews, but while NotebookLM is based on a user prompt, Daily Listen examines topics and stories the user already follows, with a focus on delivering helpful, although fallible, information.
