Google integrates more artificial intelligence into Gmail as part of a broader strategy to leverage AI across its products. The features, announced Thursday and reported Saturday, aim to transform the email service into a personal assistant. This assistant will improve writing and summarize information directly from user inboxes.
Subscribers to Google's Pro and Ultra services will gain access to new technology. This technology is similar to the AI Overviews found in Google Search. It allows users to ask conversational questions directly within the Gmail search bar.
Separately, Google is rolling out a new "AI Inbox" function to a small group of testers. This feature automatically sifts through emails. Its purpose is to suggest to-do lists and relevant topics.
