How to use the 'Join' button or Interactive Mode to interrupt the conversation and ask the AI hosts questions directly while the Audio Overview podcast is playing.
Turning Passive Podcasts into Active Conversations
Interactive Mode allows you to 'break the fourth wall.' It transforms a passive podcast listening experience into a dynamic two-way conversation where the AI is aware of your presence.
'Go Deeper' Tips
If the AI host mentions something interesting but brief, hit 'Join' immediately. The AI is designed to provide a deep dive based on your document's context when interrupted.
Contextual Continuity
Don't worry about losing the flow of conversation; the AI host will resume the original topic right where they left off before you asked your question.
