Following the announcement at I/O 2026, Google is rolling out Gmail Live, Docs Live, and Keep Live this week. After testing in recent months, these voice capabilities are now generally available.
Gmail Live lets you talk to your inbox. Instead of manually searching for information and reading through threads, Gemini lets you have a “natural, spoken conversation with your inbox to pull precise information.”
You can ask follow-up questions without repeating the context, and Gmail Live can be interrupted at any time to switch topics without starting a new session. The fullscreen interface shows a transcript and links to the source emails. To launch, tap the new Live icon in the Gmail search bar.
Gmail Live is available with Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra on Android and iOS in English worldwide.
Google positions Docs Live as a “hands-free thought partner and co-writer” that helps you quickly create a first draft for summaries, proposals, and more. Gemini can draw from information in your Gmail, Drive, Chat, and the web.
