Markdown (.md) files can be previewed and edited in Docs and Drive. Gmail Live searches the inbox by voice, while Docs Live turns spoken ideas into structured drafts. Meet translation is built with Gemini 3.5 Live Translate, and Quick notes give a one-page summary of decisions and next steps. Google says migration from Microsoft 365 is up to five times faster, at no additional cost.
