What changed

Google is rolling out voice-based AI assistants for Gmail, Docs, and Keep. Called Gmail Live, Docs Live, and Keep Live, they let people manage these apps through real-time conversation, including capturing notes by speaking.

What this means for you

People gaining access can use voice instead of typing to work with email, documents, and notes. The feature is still rolling out, so availability may vary.
