TL;DR Google is expanding the use of AI in Keep notes.
We spotted an under-development feature that could utilize AI to generate titles for notes in Google Keep.
Google Keep already lets you generate lists using text prompts.
Google has been bullish on enriching existing features across its apps with AI. Simple text-based functionality consumes the least compute, which is why we’re seeing small additions creep up in several apps — in addition to Gboard’s writing tools. While messaging apps have largely been the focus for text generation or correction with AI, Google is also testing functions across other apps, and Google Keep is one of them. Now, Google is testing another AI-assisted feature in Keep notes to help craft better titles.
We recently learned that Google is now testing an option to generate titles for Google Keep notes using AI. References to this functionality were found buried in the code for this feature in version 5.25.382.03.90 of Google Keep.
A buttun appears for the title. But it doesn't work!
We were able to view the positioning of a dedicated button. It resembles the icon for Gboard’s writing tools and appears where you would usually enter the title. However, it doesn’t work in its current form.

As mentioned above, we couldn’t verify how it might work, though we expect it might recommend a fitting title based on the contents of the note. Perhaps this could allow for easier sorting — or subsequent searching — of notes using semantic terms related to the actual title, or might add useful context to other AI features, such as the Pixel 10’s Magic Cue. However, that’s just a wild guess. At the same time, I feel we could live without relying on AI for naming our notes, so it might actually be superfluous.
