We propose to observe Asymptotic Giant Branch stars (AGB) with spectro-differential interferometric techniques in order to find new observational constraints to inner structure and evolutionary models of these stars. We examine the interferometric signatures created by possible heterogeneities on AGB stars surface due to local Li-enrichments or Li-rich spots and find that such heterogeneities, if they exist, could be detected with present or future interferometers.
