Gmail is getting a major upgrade with AI capabilities powered by Gemini 3 to help users manage their inboxes more efficiently. The product serves as a personal, proactive inbox assistant that filters out noise and highlights important information.

Key features include AI Overviews that summarize long email conversations into concise summaries and answer questions about your inbox using natural language queries. Help Me Write helps polish emails or draft them from scratch, while Suggested Replies offer context-aware, one-click responses that match your writing style. The Proofread feature provides advanced grammar, tone, and style checks. A new AI Inbox filters out clutter to prioritize important emails like bills due tomorrow or dentist reminders.

The AI Overviews work by synthesizing entire email conversations into key points and using Gemini's advanced reasoning to pull answers from your inbox when you ask questions. The AI Inbox analyzes signals like people you email frequently, contacts list relationships, and message content to identify VIPs and high-stakes items, with privacy protections keeping your data secure.

Benefits include faster email composition, reduced time spent digging through emails, and better focus on what matters most. Use cases include coordinating family gatherings, finding specific information like renovation quotes from past emails, and staying on top of appointments and deadlines.

The product targets Gmail's 3 billion users, with specific features available to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. It integrates with other Google apps for better personalization and is initially rolling out in English in the U.S., with more languages and regions coming later.
