Google Docs on Android and iOS now has Docs Live, where a person speaks and Gemini drafts a structured document. Gemini can pull from the user's emails, chats and Drive files while it writes. It is on by default wherever Gemini in Docs is enabled.
Check whether Gemini in Docs is enabled for your student and staff organisational units, and decide whether Docs Live should be available to each group.

Google says the feature is on by default for users with Gemini in Docs enabled, and points admins to the Help Center page on turning access to Google Workspace with Gemini on or off. The listed education availability is the Google AI Pro for Education add-on. The source does not name a separate Docs Live setting.
