"We hope you like more AI in your Gmail inbox, because Google is "bringing Gmail into the Gemini era." It'll be on by default, but the good news is that you can disable it. The threat, issued on Thursday by Google's VP of product Blake Barnes, sees the company expanding the reach of a trio of inbox AI features that were previously only available to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. You know - the folks who actually wanted the stuff."
""Just like they do in Google Search, AI Overviews turn information into answers without the digging," Barnes said. "When you open an email with dozens of replies, Gmail synthesizes the entire conversation into a concise summary of key points.""
"As for composition help, "everyone can use Help Me Write to polish emails or draft them from scratch," Barnes said. Smart Replies - the prior trio of AI-generated responses to emails - are also being updated with Suggested Replies, "which use the context of your conversation to offer relevant, one-click responses that match how you write." AI proofreading, which we assume will be more helpful than the current squiggly underlining of incorrectly spelled words and poor grammar, is also being rolled out on Thursday, but just to Pro and Ultra subscribers, Google explained."
Google is enabling a suite of Gemini-era AI features in Gmail by default while offering a disable option. AI Overviews synthesize long email conversations into concise summaries of key points. Help Me Write assists users in polishing or drafting emails from scratch. Smart Replies are being updated with Suggested Replies that use conversation context to offer one-click responses matching a user’s writing style. Natural language inbox search is being introduced but restricted to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. AI proofreading will be available to Pro and Ultra subscribers. Previously paid AI features are being expanded to all users.
