Gmail is getting a major upgrade with AI capabilities powered by Gemini 3 to help users manage their inbox more efficiently. The product serves as a personal, proactive inbox assistant that can summarize email threads, answer questions about your inbox, and help compose better emails.

Key features include AI Overviews that synthesize entire email conversations into concise summaries of key points and answer natural language questions about your inbox. Help Me Write helps polish emails or draft them from scratch, while Suggested Replies use conversation context to offer relevant, one-click responses that match your writing style. Proofread provides advanced grammar, tone and style checks, and AI Inbox filters out clutter to highlight important emails and to-dos.

The AI Overviews work by using Gemini's advanced reasoning to pull answers from your emails when you ask questions in natural language. The system analyzes email content securely with privacy protections to identify VIPs based on signals like people you email frequently and relationships inferred from message content.

Benefits include faster email management without digging through messages, polished communication that matches your writing style, and better prioritization of important emails. Use cases include finding specific information like renovation quotes from past emails, coordinating family gatherings with suggested responses, and staying on top of appointments and deadlines.

The product targets Gmail's 3 billion users and is rolling out initially in the U.S. in English, with Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers getting access to premium features like question-answering AI Overviews and Proofread. Integrations include upcoming personalization using context from other Google apps.
