Google's major update: Gmail users will now get amazing Gemini AI features; here's how they will work..

Google is rolling out a large set of Gemini-powered artificial intelligence (AI) features to Gmail. Announcing this on Thursday, the Mountain View-based tech giant said these new capabilities bring Gmail into the "Gemini era." Most notable is the integration of AI Overview, which now powers the search experience and email summaries in threads with a lot of replies. Google has also introduced a new AI-powered inbox, where users will automatically see their priority emails and to-do lists. Some AI features have also been expanded to non-paying Gmail users.

Gmail Gets New AI Features
In a blog post, the tech giant introduced several new AI features for its email client. While most of them are only available to Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers, two features have been expanded to everyone. The new features are initially rolling out in the English language in the US and will expand to additional regions and languages ​​in the coming months.

One of the key features is AI Overview, which will now power two key features within Gmail. First, it will answer natural-language questions about the inbox in a small box just below the search bar, similar to how it appears in Google Search. This will eliminate the need for keyword-based searches or scrolling through their emails to find information, as emails related to plain-word queries will appear. Second, it will summarize long email threads into key points.

Notably, the email summarization capability will be rolled out to all users; however, natural-language search is only available to Google's AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers. It is currently available in the US.

In addition, the tech giant is also adding new tools focused on email composition and replies. Help Me Write is a drafting tool that generates or refines email text based on a simple prompt or the context of an ongoing conversation. Additionally, Gmail will offer Suggested Replies, an advanced version of the classic Smart Reply functionality, which provides quick, context-aware responses that users can edit before sending. Both features are being made available free to all users, while a new Proofread feature with advanced grammar and tone suggestions will remain in Google's paid AI plan.

Google is also testing a new AI Inbox view that acts more like a proactive assistant than a traditional list of messages. It appears above the old Inbox tab and shows high-priority emails and to-dos that require immediate attention, such as upcoming meetings, important bills, or important conversations. To do this, Gemini analyzes the email's content, but Google says this processing happens securely with the privacy protections the company provides. The AI ​​inbox is being made available to a group of trusted testers first and is expected to be rolled out more widely in the coming months.
