Google has introduced new voice-powered features called Gmail Live, Keep Live, and Docs Live for AI subscribers, allowing them to interact with their emails and create notes using only their voice. These features are powered by Google’s Gemini Audio models, which use artificial intelligence to understand user intent and retrieve or generate information. Instead of typing, users can now speak naturally to perform tasks like checking flight details, organizing thoughts, or creating documents through voice commands. Gmail Live lets users ask questions like “What gate is my flight departing from?” or “What’s happening at my child’s school this week.” The AI listens, finds the relevant information in the user’s emails, and reads it aloud. This eliminates the need for users to manually search through their inbox. Meanwhile, Docs Live allows users to generate structured documents by speaking their ideas, such as giving a “brain dump” to the AI, which then organizes the thoughts into a coherent draft. It can also pull information from other Google Workspace apps, like Google Drive and Gmail, or even from the internet. Keep Live offers a similar experience for note-taking, turning spoken ideas into organized notes rather than just recording them verbatim. This helps users capture and structure their thoughts more effectively. The features are available to different levels of Google AI subscribers, with Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra users getting access to Gmail Live and Keep Live immediately. Docs Live, however, is only available to Pro and Ultra subscribers, excluding Plus members. Business customers are also expected to receive these updates soon. “Whether searching your inbox, organizing your thoughts, or brainstorming, the new capabilities in Gmail, Docs, and Keep let you do it all conversationally,” said Yulie Kwon Kim, Vice President of Google Workspace Products. Google plans to support these “Live” features across its apps from the start, with further improvements expected as the company gathers user feedback and refines the technology for real-world use.
