Gmail: Instead of limiting Gmail to just an email app, Google has added deep integration of Google Gemini to it. The purpose of this new update is to give users a more personal and intelligent email experience where the inbox itself will tell what is important and what needs immediate attention. According to Google’s Product Vice President Blake Barnes, Gmail will now work by understanding the user’s needs in advance. However, the traditional inbox is not going anywhere, instead it will be a new optional view that users can turn on or off as per their convenience.
New AI features of Google Gemini are coming to Gmail
AI Inbox
The AI ​​Inbox feature will show users an AI-generated summary of their important emails. There will be two special sections in this, one, such tasks which are necessary to be done immediately and second, those topics on which the user should remain updated. Bill payment, appointment or other important reminders will appear in the important tasks section. At the same time, in the catch-up section, updates related to shopping, finance or other categories will be available at one place.
AI Overview
Now the feature of AI overview will also be available in Gmail, through which users will be able to ask questions related to their emails in common language. Gemini AI will understand your mails and respond immediately. This feature will be especially beneficial for those people who receive dozens of emails every hour and who want to avoid repeated searches.
Help Me Write
The Help Me Write feature turns Gmail into your personal email writer. Earlier this facility was limited only to paid Gemini users, but now it is being made available to free users also. With this, users will be able to easily create professional and better emails by explaining them in a few words.
AI Thread and Proofread
Reading long email conversations often becomes tiresome. The AI ​​Thread feature will automatically summarize such long email threads into short and neat summaries. Whereas the Proofread feature will help in making the language, tone and intention more clear while writing the email so that your message reaches the person in the right way.
The future of Gmail is even smarter
With these new features of Google Gemini, Gmail will no longer be just a means of sending and reading mail, but it will work like a smart assistant. If users want, they can use the old inbox or adopt the new AI-based view to easily deal with the email congestion.
