Google Gemini AI Assistant Starts Working In Gmail

The public version of Gemini has arrived in the Gmail sidebar. The tool is built with “Google’s best-performing models, including the Gemini 1.5 Pro model with a longer context window and more advanced reasoning.”

For email, Gemini offers “proactive prompts” and allows users to “ask free-form questions”—the system is “built using Google’s most powerful models,” including Gemini 1.5 Pro. The feature of compiling summaries based on correspondence history is also available in the Gmail mobile application.

For now, these features are only available to paid users of Gemini: Google Workspace subscribers with Gemini Business or Enterprise, Gemini Education or Education Premium, and Google One AI Premium.

An AI assistant can make solving work problems much easier, but you shouldn’t trust it too much either.
