Google is adding voice-based prompt features to Google Docs, Keep and Gmail, which are Google Workspace apps.
On May 19 local time, Google unveiled the features at its annual Google I/O developer conference.
In Google Docs, users will be able to create document drafts by voice. In a Google demonstration, users can ask it to pull resume information from Drive, add email event details to the top of a document, and include a humorous anecdote.
TechCrunch reported that the voice-based prompt feature focuses on handling long sentences or multiple tasks at once.
Even if users change details while speaking, it can reflect the changes within the same conversational flow. Google CEO Sundar Pichai (순다 피차이) said users will be able to create and edit documents by voice.
The voice feature is also being added to Keep. When users speak a thought, the app transcribes it and AI organizes it into structured notes or lists.
In Gmail, users can talk with Gemini by voice to find the information they need. Users can ask about things such as their next flight, an Airbnb reservation code, or a doctor appointment time.
In early May, Google also added to Gboard a dictation product called Rambler that works across multiple apps.
