Google Keep may soon suggest titles for your notes and lists

Like most Google apps on Android, Google Keep hasn’t been immune to the AI treatment, with the “Help me create a list” functionality rolling out last year. It now looks like there’s one more AI-related feature on the way for Google’s lists and note creation app.

Poring over the latest version of the Google Keep app (version 5.25.382.03.90), the folks at Android Authority have uncovered an AI-based title generation feature for notes. While it’s not yet functional, the site has managed to gain an early preview of how one would go about generating AI titles for a new or existing note.

When (or if) AI-based title generation goes live, users will see an icon in the title field of a note that’s not dissimilar to the icon for Gboard’s Writing Tools. However, Android Authority was unable to determine whether this feature would only work on devices that support Gemini Nano, as is the case with the recently launched Gboard tools.

Don’t hold your breath for a quick rollout

The fact that AI title suggestions don’t work as intended suggests that this feature is still in the early stages of development. We presume the tool will suggest a title based on the note’s contents, while also potentially providing an option to type in a prompt and generate a title even if the note is empty.

There are more questions than answers about this AI functionality right now, and we can only hope that future leaks will shed more light on its workings. It’s worth pointing out that although Google Keep is no stranger to AI, it hasn’t seen the same volume of AI feature additions as some of Google’s other apps, such as Photos, Gmail, Sheets, and Docs, to name a few.

Google rolled out “Help me create a list” to Keep widely last year, and it has been the only major AI feature on the app. Not all future additions will be AI-related, however, as Google Keep is also working on a “Find in note” option that would allow users to search for text within the contents of a note. Although “Find a note” was discovered last month, it’s not widely available to users of the app.
