Gmail debuts a personalized AI Inbox, AI Overviews in search, and more | TechCrunch

"The new AI Inbox tab features two sections: "Suggested to-dos" and "Topics to catch up on." The first section displays summaries of top priority emails that require an action, such as a reminder that you have a bill due tomorrow or that you need to call your dermatologist to confirm your mailing address so they can ship your prescription refill."

""This is us delivering on Gmail proactively having your back, showing you what you need to do and when you need to do it," said Blake Barnes, VP, Product at Google, in a briefing with reporters. "Don't worry, the traditional inbox will remain available. This is simply a new view you can toggle in and out of as you please to cut through the noise of your incoming mail.""

"With the new AI Overviews in Gmail search, users can now search their inbox using natural language questions to get a quick answer instead of having to rely on traditional keyword search and open multiple emails to find specific information."

Gmail adds an AI Inbox tab that surfaces two sections: Suggested to-dos and Topics to catch up on. Suggested to-dos shows summaries of high-priority emails requiring action, like bill reminders or calls to confirm mailing addresses for prescriptions. Topics to catch up on groups updates such as order deliveries and financial statements into categories like Finances and Purchases. The view is optional and can be toggled alongside the traditional inbox. Google is rolling the feature out to trusted testers before broader availability. Gmail also adds AI Overviews for natural-language search and a Grammarly-like Proofread tool, and expands several previously paid AI features to all users.
