Audible is introducing a new AI feature called Maven to enhance the audiobook discovery experience. This beta test aims to simplify finding personalized book recommendations through conversational search queries.

Key Points

  • Maven uses natural language processing to provide tailored audiobook suggestions based on specific user requests.

  • Users can ask for recommendations like "uplifting fiction novels with a female protagonist" or "fantasy audiobooks for an 8-hour road trip."

  • Audible is also testing AI-generated “reviews at a glance” and curated collections for niche topics.

  • Maven will be available to 50% of US customers during the beta phase, covering a subset of Audible’s catalog as user feedback and engagement are assessed.

Audible’s Maven is set to revolutionize audiobook discovery by offering a more intuitive and personalized search experience. As this feature evolves, Audible aims to refine Maven based on user feedback and technological advancements, ensuring users have the best recommendations at their fingertips.

YouTube Trials AI-Powered Brainstorming Tool with Google Gemini

YouTube is experimenting with a new feature called "Brainstorm with Gemini," which integrates Google's AI technology to assist creators in generating video ideas, titles, and thumbnails. Announced through a video on the Creator Insider channel, this feature is currently available to a select group of creators as part of a limited trial. YouTube plans to gather feedback from these users before deciding on a broader rollout. This addition could give YouTube a competitive advantage over other video platforms by offering unique AI-driven tools. Unlike previous AI features that provided video topic suggestions, Brainstorm with Gemini aims to enhance the creative process by leveraging Google's advanced AI models.
