Google has announced the rollout of new artificial intelligence (AI) features in Gmail for all users, according to a post on the company’s official blog.
One of the key updates is a new AI-powered inbox view that replaces the traditional chronological list of emails. Instead, Gmail will offer an AI-generated summary highlighting topics that may be most relevant to the user. For example, the system might suggest rescheduling a dentist appointment, replying to a coach, or paying fees for participation in a sports tournament.
These features will be available to all users free of charge. The AI Inbox feature will initially launch for “trusted testers” in the United States and will be accessible only via a web browser. It will later be rolled out to regular users worldwide, even without a paid subscription, with support for additional languages and regions.
In addition, all Gmail users without a paid subscription will gain access to personalized AI-powered reply suggestions, AI-generated summaries of email threads, and the “Help Me Write” tool designed to assist with drafting emails. Previously, these features were exclusive to paid subscribers.
Subscribers to Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra will receive additional capabilities, including spelling checks and advanced email search powered by Gemini. For instance, users will be able to ask questions like, “Who was the plumber who fixed my bathroom last year?” and have the AI locate the relevant contact within their emails.
Google noted that AI features can be disabled at any time and emphasized that content from Gmail is not used to train its AI models.
