These are widely used services in Europe because they are free.
It's true that they don't have the power, and don't claim to have it, of office suites like Microsoft Office, but for what many users need, it's more than enough. If you want something more powerful than Keep for managing notes, Google has started a project called LM Notebook that incorporates artificial intelligence that takes its usability to never-before-seen levels.

Another of the most striking functions is the one that allows you to convert a document into an audio file. For now it is only available in English, but it creates a conversation between two people, like a podcast, with the information from the document or video in question.
