Interrupt the AI, switch topics, and keep going—that's what Gmail Live is designed for. You can ask "when's my kid's next school event," then follow up with "what do I need to bring for the field trip," and the system will pick up the conversation thread, displaying a live transcript alongside links to the relevant original emails.
Google started testing Gmail Live back in June, with the goal of bringing the Gemini Live voice interaction experience into everyday tools like Gmail, Docs, and Keep. All three features have now completed beta testing and are officially rolling out to paid Google AI subscribers.
Gmail Live works on both Android and iOS, and is available to anyone subscribed to Google AI Plus, Pro, or Ultra. Docs Live lets you talk through your ideas and structure documents by voice, and if you grant access to Drive and Chat, it can pull in Gmail content and web data to generate drafts. That said, this feature is limited to Android and iOS users on Google AI Pro or Ultra subscriptions.
Keep Live listens to what you say and turns it directly into lists or notes, sorting things intelligently even without explicit instructions—like automatically filing ingredients under "pesto pasta ingredients" or adding items to an existing shopping list. This feature is Android-only for now, and limited to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.
All three features share one thing in common: they're locked behind paid subscriptions, with plan tiers and platform support that don't quite line up across the board—Keep Live, for instance, still isn't available on iOS.
