Google has ended the beta period for its Gemini-powered voice assistants across Gmail, Docs and Keep, opening them to all paying Google AI subscribers. Gmail Live lets users ask natural-language questions about their inbox and follow up conversationally, Docs Live drafts and organizes documents using information from Drive, Chat, Gmail and the web, and Keep Live transcribes spoken notes into structured lists.
Google has launched conversational AI features called Gmail Live, Docs Live, and Keep Live, letting users speak natural-language queries to search inboxes, draft documents, or jot notes hands-free. First previewed at Google I/O in May, the tools display live transcripts and can pull data from Gmail, Drive, chat, and the web to assist with tasks like drafting documents or compiling shopping lists.
Google has begun rolling out Gmail Live, Docs Live, and Keep Live, conversational AI tools that let users speak to these apps to find information, draft documents, or take notes. Users can ask Gmail Live to surface details buried in email threads, have Docs Live turn spoken descriptions into structured documents, and dictate notes naturally to Keep Live. The features, first shown at Google I/O in May, are now live globally in English on mobile, with availability varying by subscription tier and platform.
Google has introduced a new feature in Google Vids called 'Docs to Video,' which lets users convert PDFs, Google Docs, and Word files into narrated video summaries. The tool generates a script from the document's content, adds AI voiceover, and pairs it with AI-generated images and backgrounds, with options to edit the script or change the narrator's voice.
Google announced that Pics, its AI-powered image generation and design tool first revealed in May, is now widely available rather than limited to select testers. Access requires a Google AI Pro or Ultra plan, an AI Pro for Education subscription, or select Workspace Business and Enterprise tiers.
Google introduced Google Pics, a new design tool for Workspace users that combines Gemini with its Nano Banana image model to generate and edit 'professional-grade' visuals. It launches as both a standalone app and an integration inside Docs and Slides, with Drive support coming soon, letting users select objects or text within images and edit them via prompts.
