Google adds voice-based prompting to Docs and Keep

A striking development has emerged in artificial intelligence. At the Google I/O developer conference, Google announced it’s bringing a voice-based prompting feature to Workspace apps such as Docs, Keep, and Gmail. These features can help you create drafts, take notes, and search for emails.

In Docs, you can create a draft document using your voice. For instance, in a demo shown by , 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.

This advance offers important signals about the future of the sector, and the tech world is watching closely.
