"Gmail made us all rethink how email could work when it debuted more than 20 years ago. Google thinks we're in the process of another email transformation courtesy of AI. The company has unveiled a new round of AI features that will make Gemini an even more integral part of Gmail. The new Gemini experiences are coming to paying subscribers starting today, and a collection of previously premium-only AI features are rolling out widely."
"AI Overviews first appeared in Gmail last year to summarize email chains, and now it's expanding to Gmail search. This is closer to the AI Overview experience to which you are accustomed in Google's web search. You can enter a natural language search, and the robot churns through your messages to generate a response. In the example above, the user looks up a past plumbing quote. Traditionally, Gmail would show emails that are likely matches for your search."
"AI Pro and Ultra subscribers will also begin seeing a new proofreading tool in Gmail. Proofreading suggestions will appear as dotted underlines in your email text, offering suggestions to streamline and clarify your writing. Google says AI Proofreading can make more nuanced changes than standard spellchecking features thanks to the company's largest and most powerful Gemini 3 models. Lastly, Google is previewing a new version of its iconic inbox-no, not that Inbox."
Google is integrating Gemini AI more deeply into Gmail with new features for paying subscribers and broader availability of formerly premium tools. AI Overviews now extend to Gmail search, allowing natural-language queries that generate summarized responses citing relevant emails. The feature aims to replace traditional search result lists with formatted answers, though prior AI Overviews have had accuracy issues when summarizing search results. AI Pro and Ultra subscribers gain an AI proofreading tool that offers nuanced writing suggestions via dotted underlines, powered by Gemini 3. Google is also previewing an AI Inbox that prioritizes unread mail and creates interactive lists for trusted testers.
