Much more than just simple dictation, the Gemini Audio models should be able to interpret user intent and retrieve the relevant information. From launch, the company is supporting its new 'Live' functionality across Gmail, Docs and Keep, but we can expect a fuller rollout as Google continues to tweak the technology based on user feedback and real-world use cases.

From TechRadar Watch full video here: Gemini now handles some of your documents and work by voice Starting with Gmail Live, users can ask things like what gate a flight departs from or what's happening at a child's school during the week, and the model should be able to read and retrieve the necessary information without the user ever having to find the email.

For Docs Live, it's more about generating documents through natural language prompts. Google gave an example of a user giving a 'brain dump' to Gemini, which then goes on to organize the thoughts and produce a structured draft. The tool can also draw information from other Workspace apps like Google Drive, Gmail and the internet.

Keep Live offers similar functionality, turning speech into organized notes rather than simply transcribing a user's thoughts word-for-word.

Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra subscribers get first access to Gmail Live and Keep Live, beginning now. Docs Live is limited to Pro and Ultra subscribers, cutting access for Plus members.
