Google has launched an innovative feature in its Gemini AI assistant that automatically summarizes lengthy emails, enhancing user experience.

This update aims to improve email management and alleviate information overload for users who deal with high volumes of emails.

The automatic summaries are presented in concise bullet points at the top of the email, dynamically updating with new replies, allowing users to quickly grasp the main points without scrolling through entire threads.

This feature is part of a broader trend to integrate generative AI into productivity tools, providing practical applications for managing lengthy conversations.

Currently, the summarization feature is limited to emails written in English and is available exclusively to Google Workspace users, Google One AI Premium subscribers, and those with Gemini Education add-ons.

The rollout of this feature is gradual, expected to take about two weeks, and may not be immediately available to all users.

In certain regions, including the EU, UK, Switzerland, and Japan, the feature is disabled by default due to privacy regulations.

Users who prefer to read the entire email can opt out of the summarization feature through their Gmail settings, although this requires disabling Gmail's smart features.

Google emphasizes its commitment to user privacy, ensuring that all AI features in Gmail incorporate robust data protection measures.

The AI also allows users to customize the email's style, offering options for formal, friendly, concise, or detailed responses.

Despite some concerns about the accuracy of AI-generated summaries, Google is dedicated to enhancing Gemini's capabilities as AI becomes increasingly prevalent in productivity applications.

This feature is expected to save time and reduce stress for users, reflecting a transformative shift in how they interact with email.
