Google continues in its desire to offer the best service to its users with the development of functionalities based on artificial intelligence in Gmail. As we have seen in the development of version v2024.03.31.621006929 of Gmail, Google will implement the long-awaited “summarize this email” button so you spend less time checking emails. I'll tell you what we know about this functionality.
Google is working to integrate artificial intelligence into Gmail
We know that Google is working to integrate tools based on artificial intelligence in different solutions within its ecosystem. Recently they surprised us with the announcement of Seeds, the AI-based tool for weather forecasting. Well, now it has been discovered that Google is testing a new functionality based on artificial intelligence for Gmail email.
Specifically, it has been the user AssembleDebug on his Twitter profile who has spread the word about this new functionality. Show in your message the image that you can see above where we will have a button that says "Summarize this email" in English, which means "summarize this email."
This new functionality is expected to integrate Gemini artificial intelligence to make summaries of the texts received in gmail. Now, what we don't know yet is an exact date to enjoy this new functionality.
When can we summarize Gmail messages with AI
According to the information we have, Google Workspace users can see this functionality in the browser version, but we are expected to see this feature in the Gmail app for Android soon. Although at the moment you cannot use the functionality yet, since if you press the button nothing happens. If we know that we will be able to enjoy it in not much time since it is being progressively integrated into all Gmail accounts.
Now, we still don't know for sure how good this functionality is and how exactly it works. It is speculated that pressing the button will bring up a summary of the email so that you can understand in a few seconds what the body of the message is about despite it being long or dense.
Now, this function can remind us of the Android Auto's ability to summarize messages with AI, so we can get the idea that it will work in a similar way.
It seems that Gmail integration with Gemini is getting closer and is expected to make email management easier for both business emails and personal emails.
