Google starts rolling out Gmail Live, Docs Live and Keep Live voice features
The three voice-driven Gemini features are now generally available, but they need a paid Google AI plan.
Google has begun rolling out three voice features it first showed at its I/O developer event earlier this year: Gmail Live, Docs Live and Keep Live. All three let you speak to a Google app instead of typing, with Gemini doing the work in the background.
Gmail Live is meant for finding things in your inbox by talking to it. Instead of searching and opening threads one by one, you hold a spoken back-and-forth, ask follow-up questions without repeating yourself, and see a transcript with links to the emails Gemini used. Docs Live works as a voice co-writer that can pull from your Gmail, Drive and Chat to build a first draft. Keep Live listens to a spoken brain-dump and turns it into notes or lists, and can add items to a list you already have.
According to 9to5Google, Gmail Live is available on Android and iOS in English worldwide with Google AI Plus, Pro or Ultra; Docs Live needs AI Pro or Ultra; and Keep Live is Android-only. Google Workspace business customers are told the features are "coming soon". No India-specific detail was given beyond the worldwide English availability.
