The umpteenth chapter of the saga “Google puts ia everywhere” is materializing and the protagonist is still the browser Google Chromerevolutionized by the AI ​​in its desktop version following the announcements of last weekend; This time, however, we are talking about a novelty that invests the version for the browser Android devices.

The development team began to distribute a feature already sighted last July when it was still being developed: let’s talk about the Panoramic to For web pages, a way to learn the content of an article that we are reading (or any other page that we are consulting) thanks to the help of artificial intelligence.

Chrome for Android begins to welcome the panoramic to

The Google Chrome browser integrates a functionality that can read the content of a web page “aloud”: to do it, just make a tap on the button with the three dots (to access the context menu) and select “Listen to this page”.

In the last few hours, the development team has started to distribute an enhancement for this functionality, integrating the Audio panoramic of notebooklm, or that potential based on artificial intelligence that we also find on Gemini and which is able to transform any content that we pass by into a podcast.

Speaking of the browser, the IA will take care to generate an overview of the Podcast version of the contents of the web page: once this feature is received, after selecting “Listen to this page”we will be welcomed by the message “Generation of reproduction to …” And instead of starting to read the contents of the page, the IA will generate this podcast. There is a special button at the bottom left (notice it in the third part of the following image) to go from classical reading of the audio overview page.

Availability of this function enhanced by the AI

By sifting through the net you can discover that some users have received support for Panoramic to on the Google Chrome browser with the version 140.0.7339.124the latest available on the stable channel. We did some tests, managing to make everything work only with version 142, the one currently available on canary and dev channels, but not with version 141, the one currently available on the beta channel, or with the aforementioned version 140.

Net of compatibility with the browser version, which does not matter since Big G has still started the Rollout (gradual)it should be emphasized that This functionality does not seem to support the Italian language: the only way to enable it, in fact, was translated the web page into English; On US sites, however, Chrome produces the Overview of without problems. It remains to be understood whether the absence of Italian support is something temporary or if we are “cut off” also in this case.
