Gmail Live, Google’s voice search for your inbox, is now available to Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra subscribers on Android and iOS. We explain how it works, the real launch timeline, what each Google AI plan costs, how Docs Live and Keep Live fit in, what Google says about privacy, and what it means for UK businesses.
Gemini Notebook has replaced its per-feature daily caps with one compute-based limit that refreshes every five hours up to a weekly ceiling, shows an estimated cost before you generate, and adds a Generate later queue for Video Overviews and Slide Decks. We explain how the new limits work, what each Google AI plan gets, and how to make your allowance go further.
From 9 October 2026, free Gemini app users on personal accounts are limited to Flash-Lite, AI Plus loses Pro, and AI Pro gains Deep Think. We set out the new model table with UK prices, context windows and limits, why Google is rationing its best models, and how Aleph Alpha’s open-weight Kolibri-1 offers the opposite: a model you download and keep.
Google is retiring Gemini Gems. Creating and editing stops on 13 October 2026 and Gems migrate automatically to Skills in Gemini Spark on 17 November. We trace how the plan changed since August, compare Gems with Skills, explain why free, work and UK users may lose out, and list what to save now.
Google is rolling out real-time voice conversations in Gemini Notebook, starting with Google AI Ultra subscribers on mobile. We set out what the feature does, the four restrictions buried in the announcement, the Gemini 3.8 Live model it almost certainly runs on, the four other study features shipped alongside it, and whether the feature justifies an Ultra subscription.
