Audible, the audiobook service owned by Amazon, is actively testing new AI features aimed at improving how users discover audiobooks. These enhancements include AI-generated tags that analyze customer feedback to provide personalized recommendations and topic pages designed to highlight closely related subjects.
Currently, these features are available to 50% of U.S. users on iOS and Android devices. The new “Tags” carousel in the Audible app allows AI to analyze listener reviews and summarize why specific audiobooks are popular. For example, you might see tags like “heartwarming romance” or “relatable storyline” at the top of a title, enabling you to gauge interest without sifting through numerous reviews. This approach mirrors Amazon’s use of generative AI technology to summarize product reviews on its e-commerce platform.
In addition to the tags, Audible is experimenting with AI-driven topic pages that help users discover relevant audiobooks they might not have found otherwise.
Audible’s AI capabilities also extend to various features such as “Maven,” its AI-powered search tool, AI-curated audiobook collections, and AI-generated review summaries.
Recently, the platform has begun collaborating with select narrators to train AI on their voices for future audiobook recordings, aligning with industry trends set by competitors like Apple, which introduced AI-generated audio narration for certain Apple Books last year.
