You can now talk your way through Gmail, Docs, and Keep

Back at Google I/O, the company showed how Gemini could make Gmail, Docs, and Keep feel less like apps you operate and more like assistants you talk to. The company promised that these new voice-powered experiences would be available this summer, and after a few early glimpses, the wait is finally over. Gmail Live, Docs Live, and Keep Live are rolling out now, giving users new ways to get things done without reaching for the keyboard.

Gmail Live is perhaps the most immediately useful of the three. Instead of digging through your inbox or remembering the right keywords, you can ask a question out loud. Gmail can connect information across emails to synthesize an answer. That could mean asking when your kid’s next school event is, checking an order update, or finding information buried across multiple messages.
