Google brings more conversational features to Gmail, Docs and Keep - Engadget

"Google thinks that it's good to speak out loud and so, to that end, is bringing more conversational features to Gmail, Docs and Keep in the form of Live. Gmail Live, for instance, will let you ask your inbox a natural language question to save you the turmoil of having to search for the keyword yourself. In its example, say you're rushing to the airport and need to know your gate number, you can now just ask the system "What's my flight's gate number?" while hoping the system isn't hallucinating."

"Docs Live enables you to talk through your initial ideas for a document which the system will then organize for you. With your permission, it will then take that structure and delve into your Gmail and Drive to add in any relevant details from your own notes and communications. If you're feeling brave enough, you can even ask the system to pull any relevant information from the internet."

"It's the same situation in Keep, where you can dictate reminders to the system for it to impose some form of structure upon. Whatever you vomit forth from your mind, Google says Keep will now be able to understand, curate and create reminders and prompts for whatever's relevant. As for when you'll be able to take advantage of these features, Google says they'll roll out to AI Pro and Ultra subscribers this Summer."

"Around the same time, it'll be available as a preview to Google Workspace business customers."

Google is introducing conversational Live capabilities across Gmail, Docs, and Keep. Gmail Live will let users ask natural-language questions about their inbox, such as requesting a flight’s gate number, reducing manual searching. Docs Live will help users talk through initial document ideas, then organize the content and, with permission, pull relevant details from Gmail and Drive notes and communications. Keep will understand dictated reminders and prompts, curating and creating structured reminders based on what users say. Google plans to roll these features out to AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in summer, with a preview for Google Workspace business customers around the same time.
