Google has started making Gmail Live available, an artificial intelligence-based feature that allows locating data within emails through voice queries. This functionality enables the user to find information in their inbox without needing to navigate through long message threads.
Furthermore, the company is introducing updates to the Docs and Keep applications, offering functionalities that assist in document creation and in converting spoken ideas into well-structured notes. Access to these features depends on the subscribed plan.
Instead of typing search terms and opening multiple messages, the user can simply ask Gmail Live what they are looking for. The operation of this tool is similar to voice interactions with Gemini, but it has been specifically adjusted to perform searches within the inbox content.
Google exemplifies the use of the feature with questions such as: 'What is my flight's boarding gate?' or 'What is happening at my child's school this week?'. According to the company, the system analyzes the emails and provides answers promptly.
Announced during the Google I/O event last month, Gmail Live has left the beta phase and began distribution this week.
In the case of Docs Live, the user describes the type of document they wish to create, and the artificial intelligence generates an initial draft. For this, the tool has the ability to consult information present in Gmail, Drive, Chat, and the web itself. It also assists in adjusting the textual tone of the document.
Keep Live, on the other hand, has the function of converting dictated thoughts into organized notes. An example presented by Google shows a person who planned to paint their child's room over the weekend and needs materials and guidance to carry out the task; the tool, in this scenario, prepares a shopping list and a step-by-step guide.
Google defines the proposal of Keep Live as a method to 'capture, structure, and refine your ideas into organized and practical notes.'
These features meet distinct demands: Gmail Live and Keep Live are available to subscribers of the Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra plans. On the other hand, Docs Live is limited to Pro and Ultra plans. All three tools will also be made available to Google Workspace corporate clients, although the company has not yet defined a date for this expansion.
With these launches, Google begins to offer voice commands for various daily activities, ranging from searching for data in emails to writing documents and planning activities.
