Gmail's Live AI search feature arrives for Google AI subscribers - Engadget

Why it matters

Google has taken Gmail Live out of beta, giving subscribers to its paid Google AI plans the ability to search their email through conversational voice commands. Announced at Google I/O last month, the feature works like a voice chat with Gemini but is tailored to specific apps, letting users ask questions such as what gate a flight departs from and get answers pulled from their inbox. The rollout extends beyond email: Docs Live lets users describe a document they want, with Gemini gathering relevant material from Gmail, Drive, Chat and the web to produce a first draft and help refine tone, while Keep Live converts spoken ideas into structured, actionable notes without typing. Gmail Live and Keep Live are available this week to Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra subscribers, with Docs Live restricted to Pro and Ultra tiers. Google says all three features will arrive soon for Google Workspace business customers. The launch signals Google's push to embed its assistant across everyday productivity apps.
