Gmail's new inbox is the ultimate gateway drug to AI
"So you can ask anything-like, "who was the recruiter I talked to last week"-and it'll pop up their name alongside other recruiters you may have been talking to a bullet point summary that includes names, dates, and other details from your conversations. What's interesting about those summaries is that they might include things that your friends said about these recruiters and companies in other emails on the topic-which Gmail cites with its now-familiar notation we see in Google's main AI search."
"Despite few updates to its design in two decades, it now boasts 2.5 billion users and is the largest email service in the world. And-like so much of the tech industry- Google is betting that email will sell you on its next big bet: AI. Starting today, Gmail will begin rolling out three new AI services that will significantly impact the way you use your inbox."
Gmail reaches 2.5 billion users and serves as an entry point into Google's ecosystem. Google is integrating AI into Gmail with three new features, two behind a $20/month Gemini subscription and one free for all users, with opt-out available. The headline feature, AI Overviews, adds an AI-powered search interface that returns concise, cited bullet-point summaries containing names, dates, and related conversation details, then lists the related emails. Suggested Replies expands autocomplete into an auto-email writer by offering prewritten response previews at the bottom of received messages.
