Google is expanding the reach of its Gemini AI, a feature once exclusive to Workspace users, by integrating it into the Gmail app for standard accounts on Android.
In summary, the key features include:
- Email summarisation: Quickly grasp the main points of lengthy email threads.
- Suggested replies: Receive AI-generated response options targeting the exact email content.
- Drafting assistance: Get help composing new emails with Gemini’s language skills.
- AI-powered search: Find specific emails or information more efficiently.
This new functionality is being rolled out gradually, allowing users with personal Gmail to leverage the advanced email management tools.
The integration introduces a Gemini button within the Gmail app, which provides several AI-driven features.
Users on the app can now quickly summarise lengthy email threads, making it easier to manage and keep track of complex conversations.
Added to this, Gemini provides possible responses to emails, with options to adjust the tone, simplifying the process of replying to messages. For those composing entirely new emails, the AI assists in drafting content, enhancing the efficiency of writing.
Gemini enriches the search functionality within Gmail, employing AI to help users locate specific emails or information more effectively. This advanced search feature aims to improve overall user experience by making email interactions more intuitive and efficient.
While the rollout of this feature is still in its early stages and may not be available to all users immediately, this development will help in gaining access to advanced Google tools, for making email drafts easier.
