Docs Live brings Gemini’s conversational AI to Docs and Gmail

Gemini Live is a great way to converse with Google's AI assistant and get real-time answers to your questions. You can even use Gemini Live's integration with other Google services, like Maps, Tasks, and Calendar, for more context and to help you get more done. At I/O 2026, Google announced that it is bringing the same conversational AI power to more of its products.

Docs Live will harness Gemini's voice capabilities to let you create documents with your voice. You just tell Gemini what you want to create, and Gemini will take care of the rest.

Right now, while you can use Gemini to draft documents in Google Docs or Sheets, you have to type the prompt. This interaction isn't conversational or natural.

Docs Live wants to change that, bringing a Gemini Live-like experience for creating documents. As Google puts it, this will allow you to verbally dump whatever you have in mind and let Gemini do the heavy lifting. It can even pull relevant information from specified sources for more context. And once the document is generated, you can again use your voice to ask Gemini to make further changes.

Coming this summer to AI Pro and Ultra subscribers

Docs Live should be particularly helpful in Gmail, enabling you to use Gemini to quickly draft replies to emails. That's not it, though. You can also use Gmail Live to ask Gemini to find content from your inbox and then have a conversation about it.

And if you spend hours working in Google Docs, the conversational AI power should make your life easier by capturing your thoughts and ideas and turning them into a readable document.

Google will initially make Docs Live available in Google Docs, Gmail, and Google Keep. It will roll out to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers this summer.
