Google Keep is a handy notetaking tool available by default on thebest Android phones, with the app’s functionality alsogradually improving on Android tabletsin the recent past. In October last year, we learned about Google working on bundling generative AI chops with Keep, specifically in the form ofMagic Lists. Some weeks later, we learned that Google Keep would make this available to users under a “Help me create a list” floating action button (FAB) within the app. This particular experiment is now widely available to more Google Keep users across the globe.

A couple of screenshots provided by the publication detail the aforementioned FAB and the follow-up screen, which contains a text field to enter the prompt. There’s no mention of a specific version of Google Keep that enables this functionality, so it could be a server-side push.
Needless to say, this feature is only available for people who are enrolled in Google Workspace Labs. So if you’re in the program, be sure to check out the Keep app on your Android phone and give this AI-generated feature a go. If the feature is available in your region, the FAB will appear on the bottom right of the screen when you open a new note, as shown above.
When ready, you may shoot up prompts to get them turned into a proper list immediately. For instance, you can ask Keep to prepare a list of items required to make your favorite dish or tell you what to pack for an upcoming vacation. First-time users will be greeted with a welcome screen, which we’ve already seenin a late November reveal, thanks to 9to5Google. Furthermore, we know how Google Keep will respond to queries while we’ve also caught a glimpse of theInsertbutton that lets you add the contents to the list in one tap.

The term “Help me create a list” is quite lengthy to be on a floating button, as the publication rightly points out, so the words could change in a future release. There’s also the sparkle and pencil icon within the button, similar to the one onGmail’s Help Me Write feature, which also leverages Google’s generative AI capabilities.
