Google’s Gemini AI is now part of Gmail for Android. Gmail Q&A is a new feature designed to make your inbox management go more smoothly. With the Gemini button right in front of you, you’ll be able to summarize all the emails and find what you need or show messages from particular senders. This tool brings the same functionality on mobile that’s been on the web.
To activate Gemini on the Gmail app, tap on the star at the top right. Or use the “summarize this email” button inside an email. Currently, it searches only your inbox, but Google says it will roll out the capability on your Google Drive soon.
The Gemini AI feature starts rolling out today, and it might take up to 15 days to reach all the users. It will also be available to Google Workspace customers with add-ons particular to their setup or users who have the Google One AI Premium plan. The whole goal of it is to make managing email easier because it keeps your inbox less cluttered.
During testing, Gemini did well in summarizing emails and drafting new ones for me, though sometimes it misunderstood requests – listing unrelated concerts when I asked for a list of upcoming ones, for instance, even though it pulled the ticket information into my email correctly. But despite these growing pains, Gemini is a big step toward making email easier.
Taken together, Gmail Q&A wants to make your inbox feel less intimidating. With the rollout of Gemini on mobile, Google takes another step in making high-level AI more seamless across its services.
