Audible uses generative AI to read through customer reviews and automatically produce short descriptive tags (like "heartwarming romance" or "strong female characters") that appear at the top of audiobook pages. Listeners can select multiple tags to narrow their search into very specific interests. Testing began in September 2024.
Details
The feature uses the same generative AI technology Amazon deploys for product review summarization across its e-commerce platform. AI analyzes the full body of customer reviews for a title and generates a small set of descriptive tags reflecting what listeners consistently mentioned. Listeners can tap multiple tags simultaneously to filter into hyper-specific combinations — for example, "family life" plus "police procedural" plus "romantic suspense." Tags are integrated with topic pages, so selecting a tag on one title's page can lead to a curated collection of related audiobooks. The feature was initially tested with 50% of U.S. users on iOS and Android starting in September 2024, and expanded across all title product pages by October 2025.
