Google is enhancing its productivity applications with new conversational AI features, branded as Docs Live, Gmail Live, and Keep Live. These tools enable users to interact with their documents and inboxes using natural language queries and voice commands.
In Gmail, users can now ask questions about their inbox contents to a Gemini-powered AI assistant, receiving answers in a live chat format. This moves beyond traditional search functionality, offering a more interactive way to manage email.
The Docs application will feature an AI assistant capable of generating first drafts based on user descriptions. It can also draw information from Gmail, Drive, chat, and the web to assist in content creation.
Keep Live is designed as a flexible note-taking tool. It can help users jot down ideas without typing and even compile information, such as recipe ingredients, based on user prompts.
Access to these advanced AI capabilities varies by subscription level. Gmail Live is available for Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra customers. Docs Live and Keep Live are offered to Google AI Pro and Ultra users. Initially, these features will be accessible in English across iOS and Android platforms.
