Google launches AI voice features in Gmail, Docs and Keep

Google is launching conversational AI features within Docs, Gmail and Keep that let users ask questions about their inboxes and documents as well as do tasks using natural-language queries and dictation.

The company first previewed these features in May during its Google I/O conference. The company is dubbing these features Docs Live, Gmail Live and Keep Live.

In Gmail, instead of typing in a search box, you can ask questions to a Gemini-powered AI assistant about the contents of your inbox. Users will see a live transcript while chatting with the assistant.

While using Docs, users can describe what they want to write, and the AI assistant will help them create a first draft. It can also get information from Gmail, Drive, chat, and the web to create drafts.
