Google is integrating its Gemini AI model into Gmail, introducing a suite of new features. The company is making several tools, previously exclusive to paid subscribers, free for all personal accounts. These include "Help Me Write" for drafting emails, AI-powered summaries of long threads, and personalized "Suggested Replies" that adapt to the user's writing style. [2, 7, 8]
While core writing and summary tools are now free, more advanced capabilities like querying the inbox with natural language questions will require a premium subscription. [2, 8] Google is also testing a new "AI Inbox" with a limited set of users, designed to automatically prioritize important messages and create to-do lists. The features are initially rolling out to users in the United States. [9, 15]
