Audible launches beta for interactive audiobook guides and story chats

Original: Audible begins limited beta for interactive audiobook guides and story chats Character Guide starts with Dracula, while

Audible has started a limited beta of interactive features for audiobooks in the US and UK. The new Character Guide debuts with Dracula, offering listeners reference help with characters, while conversational story chats are planned for selected titles. The rollout is restricted for now, and readers are weighing in on whether AI-style interactivity will enhance or distract from the listening experience.

Why now: Audible's move into interactive, chat-like audiobook features is new and touches ongoing debates about AI in reading and listening.
