"It's a potentially huge shift in how you might navigate your Gmail, especially if you have a lot to sort through or if you (like me) already use your inbox as a to-do list. In a demo video, AI Inbox suggests tasks like rescheduling a dentist appointment, replying to a coach, and paying a sports tournament fee, and also summarizes topics to catch up on, like a team's soccer season and a family gathering."
"Google is initially rolling AI Inbox out to "trusted testers" in the US using browsers, and it will be available first for consumer Gmail accounts - you can't use it with Workspace accounts yet. There's also not yet a way to mark if you have completed one of the suggested items - it's something Google is working on, according to the company's VP of product for Gmail, Blake Barnes -"
"Barnes also says there's no limit to the number of to-dos Gmail might suggest. While AI Inbox tries to prioritize what's important to you based on signals like who you email and what things you respond to the quickest, too many to-dos could just perpetuate inbox overwhelm but with a new design."
Gmail's AI Inbox view replaces the traditional email list with AI-generated personalized to-dos and summaries of topics to follow, surfacing suggested actions and updates from messages. Demo examples include rescheduling a dentist appointment, replying to a coach, paying a sports tournament fee, and summarizing a team's season or a family gathering. Google is initially rolling the feature to trusted testers in the US on browsers and is limited to consumer Gmail accounts, excluding Workspace. There is currently no way to mark suggested items as completed, and AI Inbox prioritizes items using signals like contacts and response speed, which could increase inbox overwhelm. Consumer Gmail also gains personalized suggested replies, AI thread overviews, and the Help Me Write tool at no extra cost.
