- The “Help me create a list” feature in Google Keep aims to simplify the list creation process with minimal user input.
- It’s designed to run a variety of lists, such as shopping lists, to-do lists, and packing lists.
- The official rollout date for this feature is uncertain, but once it’s live, Google Keep users will see a floating “Help me create a list” button in the app.
Google is testing a new “Help me make a list” feature for Keep on Android, adding to the list of Google services that rely on Gemini.
This new feature, as the name suggests, helps you create a detailed list with minimal effort, as noted by 9to5Google. Google previously mentioned that it’s designed to “help you start shopping lists, to-do lists, packing lists and more.”
Just like a bunch of Google’s recent releases, the new list-building feature uses generative artificial intelligence and is powered by Gemini.
We’re not sure when the feature will officially come out of testing, but when it’s live for Google Keep users, they’ll notice a handy “Help me make a list” button floating in the bottom right corner of the app. Just tap it and a text box will appear where you can specify the type of list you’re looking for—for example, what to pack for a road trip or a camping checklist for a family adventure.

As usual, it’s a smart move to avoid sharing sensitive or personal information because people browsing the data might take a look.
Google suggests providing specific details for better results, and you can also give a thumbs up or thumbs down for feedback. If you’re going to a specific location or with a specific number of people, just let Keep know and it will generate results based on those specifics.
If you’re happy with the result, just tap the “Insert” button at the bottom to turn the generated list into your to-do list.
We’ve known about the Help Me Write feature in Google Workspace apps like Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Meet for a while now, but they’re web-only. According to 9to5, Keep’s AI list-making feature joins Gmail’s “Help me write” as the only other Gemini-powered feature available on mobile.
