We are making Markdown files work natively across Google Drive and Docs.
You can now preview .md files in Drive, open them in Docs, edit them, comment on them, and collaborate without converting the file into a Google Doc!
This is a fun one! Brainstorm with Docs, ask your inbox a question and more, all via voice.
I'm excited about where we can take these features -- voice as a medium is such a natural way to get work done.
New Gemini voice capabilities are rolling out so you can search your Gmail inbox, organize thoughts and tasks in Keep, and create new Docs, all conversationally. Rolling out now for Google AI subscribers!

Love this re-imagining of America’s founding using Docs, Gmail, Calendar and more from @GoogleWorkspace. Really puts the history in version history :)

Excited that we've started to roll out AI Inbox to G1 Plus and Pro subscribers in the US. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
Earlier this year we announced AI Inbox in @Gmail to help you better manage and stay on top of your inbox by intelligently prioritizing your most important updates and time-sensitive tasks securely.
At #GoogleIO we shared our latest updates to AI Inbox, including:
📧 AI Inbox will generate personalized draft replies so you can review and respond in seconds.
📋 Managing your to-do list in a helpful homebase screen. Mark individual tasks done, dismiss unhelpful suggestions, and mark emails read in a single click.
📂 When you need to review a Google Doc, Sheet or Slide, the relevant link is surfaced right next to your to-do item.
There’s a lot of noise out there right now about AI and privacy. I wanted to cut through it and explain how we built Gemini in Gmail to keep your emails private.
Your inbox is your business. Gemini in @gmail helps you without holding onto your data or using your personal emails to train our foundational AI models. Gmail VP @blakebarnes explains how 👇
