Google recently announced that it’s been working on bringing new AI-based features to Gmail, which the company says is aimed at bringing a new experience for users. The new features are powered by Gemini 3, and are launching today in English for users in the United States.
First up is AI Overviews, which allows users to query their inboxes using natural language to find specific details without manual searching. This feature also shortens long email threads into more concise summaries. While conversation summaries are now free for all users, the more advanced “ask your inbox” functionality is reserved for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.
The update also comes with Help Me Write, Suggested Replies, and Proofread which use the context of your conversations to generate personalized, tone-accurate drafts as well as grammatical checks. Help Me Write and Suggested Replies are rolling out at no cost, while Proofread remains a premium subscriber feature. Google says that it plans to integrate context from other Google apps next month for further personalized email drafts.
Finally, the update also comes with AI Inbox, a filtering system that prioritizes “VIP” contacts and time-sensitive tasks like bills or appointments, although it’s currently available to select testers. Google says that it’s planning a broader global rollout within the coming months.
