Google Illuminate — Books and papers turned into podcast chats

This is seriously impressive — and super smart. There are so many academic papers on arXiv.org that I'd love to get around to reading, but they're so dense and my attention span so brief... that this is exactly how I might learn best from all this useful content — synthetic podcast discussions!

This is cool! Just joined the waitlist. Would love to see if it can churn out podcasts that are 1~2 hours long instead of 3~5 minutes. Is that something that's planned down the line?

Would be very suitable for those prefer capturing info through audio! Congrats on the launch, hope to see it can expand to multiple topics in multiple industries, not just CS or tech 🥳

For podcasts, I prefer real human conversations. I dislike AI in this context. Anyway, congrats on your launch, Chris!

Yeah Google are super low key about these amazing products for some reason. This and their LLM notebook all deserve more highlight.

GREAT ! Make it public soon please !

This is a fascinating approach to transforming dense academic material into a more engaging format.

Sounds amazing! Can't wait to dive into papers with AI chats. Great job, Google Illuminate team! 🎉

@chrismessina what a brilliant thought process. Awesome tool. The OG product for making academic papers accessible. Kudos to you and team who have made such a brilliant product for us with short attention spans!

This sounds like a groundbreaking tool for anyone diving into complex academic papers, especially in computer science! The AI-generated audio discussions tailored to individual learning styles add a new dimension to learning, making it easier to digest intricate concepts. Having two AI voices break down key points is a clever way to create a more engaging and dynamic learning experience. For students and researchers, this could be a game-changer, helping to absorb information faster and more effectively. It’ll be interesting to see how this experimental tech evolves and how it impacts the way people approach academic material. Great work, and excited to see where it goes!

Google is getting really good in AI space.

Congrats on the launch! Love the concept of AI voices discussing papers. Makes academia feel way more accessible. 🤓

Just joined the waitlist! It would help me a lot to create audio-based contents! Thanks for making.

Congrats on the launch! 🎉 Impressive concept! Having AI voices break down complex CS papers sounds like a brilliant way to enhance learning. Excited to see how this will reshape academic study!

How does the AI determine the appropriate learning style for each user?

This is a cool concept! I can see it being super helpful for students and researchers who struggle with dense academic papers. One thing I'd love to see is the ability to customize the AI voices or maybe even add your own questions to the discussion. Also, expanding beyond computer science to other fields could make this a game-changer for interdisciplinary learning. Overall, great start!

This is really cool. This has a huge hype on X

This could make complex academic topics so much more digestible. How do you think AI-driven learning will evolve in the future?

Congratulations on launching Google Illuminate....
