Google announced that Gmail will integrate Gemini-based AI functions, which marks a major update for Gmail and also heralds the innovation of AI technology in the field of email management. This update will bring users a smarter and more efficient email management experience and improve work efficiency. The new Gemini side panel will become the user's AI assistant, providing functions such as email summary and email writing, and supporting users to ask questions freely, making full use of Google's most advanced AI model.
Google recently announced the introduction of a series of new Gemini-based AI features for Gmail, aiming to completely change users’ email management experience. This move not only marks a major upgrade for Gmail, but also reflects Google’s continued progress in the field of AI applications.
In the web version of Gmail, users will welcome a new Gemini side panel. This powerful AI assistant can perform tasks such as summarizing email threads, drafting new emails, and more. Google said the tool will not only provide proactive suggestions but also allow users to freely ask questions. What’s more worth mentioning is that it will call Google’s most advanced AI models including Gemini1.5Pro.
Mobile users will not be left out either. Google plans to add the function of allowing Gemini to summarize email threads in the Gmail mobile application to further improve mobile office efficiency.
However, these tantalizing new features are not available to all users. These services are only available to paying Gemini users, including Google Workspace customers with the Gemini Business or Enterprise add-on, Gemini Education or Education Premium add-on users, and Google One AI Premium subscribers.
In addition to Gmail, Google will also launch Gemini features in the side panels of Docs, Sheets, Slides and Drive, fulfilling its promise at the I/O conference last month. In addition, Gmail also previewed more upcoming AI features, such as "contextual smart replies."
Although these AI features are exciting, Google also reminds users not to rely too much on them. In view of the fact that AI may produce "hallucinations", users still need to check carefully when sending important emails.
Although this Gmail AI function upgrade is not available to all users, its powerful functions and convenience will undoubtedly improve the email management efficiency of some users. This move by Google once again highlights the huge potential of AI technology in the office field. It is worth looking forward to more similar innovations in the future.
