- Google has begun testing upcoming conversational features in Keep notes and Gmail.
- These features were previewed at Google I/O last month, where Google also mentioned a similar feature for Docs.
- The rollout is promised to begin sometime during the summer, but Gmail Live is already appearing for some users in beta.
Talking to your electronics now seems like the natural (foreseeable) future. Giants, including Google and Apple, can’t miss the opportunity to render voice-first gateways, letting users interact with their devices mostly by talking and less by tapping the screen. Latest previews of both Siri and Gemini show a promising outlook for this future, and Google even wants each app to have its own conversational abilities similar to Gemini Live.
Last month at I/O, Google demonstrated new voice features coming to Gmail, Docs, and Keep. It said the features would roll out over the summer, and even though there’s no concrete timeline, it’s reasonable to expect them to arrive alongside the upcoming Pixel 11 phones. Ahead of the rollout, we’ve spotted it being tested.
