Google Unveils AI-Powered Conversation Modes Across Gmail, Docs, and Keep for Hands-Free Management
  • Google is rolling out AI-powered conversation modes for its apps, introducing Gmail Live, Docs Live, and Keep Live to manage Gmail, Docs, and Keep via natural dialogue.

  • Gmail Live surfaces inbox information by answering questions with summarized results and source email links, and supports follow-up questions without restarting the conversation.

  • Docs Live and Keep Live are available on AI Pro and Ultra plans, with Keep Live Android-only and Docs accessible on both iOS and Android; Gmail Live arrives on iOS and Android for eligible plans.

  • The rollout aims to help users access and organize information hands-free, especially when on the move or unable to type.

  • Workspace business customers will see these features coming soon.

  • Keep Live enables natural, contextual note transcription and organization, letting users add items like a pesto shopping list from spoken input without needing special commands.

  • Gmail Live can pull in information from your inbox and provide summarized results with links to source emails, supporting follow-up questions within the same conversation.

  • The features were previewed at Google I/O in May and are now rolling out to mobile platforms globally in English, starting today.

  • Docs Live helps convert conversational descriptions into structured documents, such as summaries or business proposals, and can pull information from Gmail, Drive, Chat, and the web when allowed.
