Gmail is getting more AI features that could make it easier to stay on top of your email.
On the web, Google is beginning to roll out a new Gemini side panel that can do things like summarize email threads and draft new emails.

In the Gmail mobile apps, Google will also give you the ability to have Gemini summarize threads.
These improvements could be useful, but they’ll only be available to paid Gemini users: you’ll need to be a Google Workspace customer with a Gemini Business or Enterprise add-on, a Gemini Education or Education Premium...
