Let your voice do the work
New conversational features help you get things done faster with just your voice. For example:
- Gmail Live: Search your inbox without digging through emails by asking questions like “What’s my flight’s gate number?” or “What’s going on at my kid’s school this week?”
- Docs Live: Use this feature to help you write a first draft faster with just your voice. It organizes your thoughts, structures the document, and can pull relevant details from other apps like Gmail and Drive.
- Keep: Just talk to Keep to organize your quick ideas or notes — it understands what you say and turns them into organized notes and lists.
These new features in Gmail, Docs, and Keep are available for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers starting this summer.
Generate and edit visuals with creative control in Google Pics
Create images precisely with Google Pics, which uses our latest Nano Banana model. It offers precise controls like object segmentation, text editing, and translation — perfect for designing flyers, social media content, or digital illustrations.
- Object segmentation: Easily move objects within the image, resize them, or transform them entirely without affecting other elements.
- Text editing and translation: Modify text directly inside a photo or translate it into different languages while maintaining the original design and font style.
- Integrations with Workspace: Pics will integrate with Google Workspace apps like Slides, allowing you to edit images right where they are.
- Collaboration: Share editable canvases so multiple people can work on the same image at once.
This new tool in Google Pics is launching for a limited group of testers today and will be available globally to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers this summer, with previews for Google Workspace business customers.
