Gmail is going to start talking to you

Google is launching a big new feature for Gmail called Gmail Live, a new AI-powered voice mode that's basically the Gemini Live experience but built specifically for your inbox. To use Gmail Live, tap an icon that will appear in your search bar and just start talking.

In a press briefing, a Google employee showed a live demo of the feature where she asked questions about things like events at her kid's school and an upcoming trip to Detroit.
