Google announced voice-based prompting for Workspace apps including Docs, Keep, and Gmail. In Docs, users can create draft documents by speaking, pulling details from Drive, adding event logistics from emails, and including additional content such as anecdotes. The voice workflow supports long sentences and multiple tasks in one go, and it can recognize when users change their minds and request edits within the same turn. Keep will convert voice transcriptions into structured notes or lists using AI. Gmail will add voice interaction with Gemini to retrieve details such as flight information, Airbnb access codes, and appointment times.
"In Docs, you can create a draft document using your voice. For instance, in a demo shown by TechCrunch, Google showed that a user can fetch resume details from Drive, add event logistics from an email on top of the document, and even include some humorous anecdotes."
"Google's idea is that with voice, you can use long sentences or ask for multiple tasks in one go. Plus, the feature understands when you change your mind and ask for a detail to be changed in the same conversation turn."
"Google is adding a way to use your voice to dump your thoughts into Keep, and the app will use AI to turn that transcription into a structured note or a list. Note-taking apps like Voicenote.com and AudioPen added this kind of feature a few years ago."
"Besides Docs and Keep, the company is adding voice-based functionality to Gmail. With the new feature, users will be able to converse with Gemini and ask for details like their next flight, code to their Airbnb booking, or time for the physician appointment."
