Google announced a new inbox view for Gmail powered by Gemini 3, called “AI Overviews.” It will use AI to feature summaries, topics, briefings, and to-dos.
So far, AI has been applied in Gmail for smart replies and spam blocking.
Launched in 2004, Gmail now claims to have 3 billion users. Google says it’s now bringing Gmail into the Gemini era, making it a personal, proactive inbox assistant.
This feature of “AI Overviews” works the same way as in Google Search, turning information into answers without the need to dig for or hunt for keywords. Gemini’s advanced reasoning pulls the answer, instantly summarizing the exact details.
For example, when the user opens an email with dozens of replies, Gmail synthesizes the entire conversation into a concise summary of key points.
AI Overview conversation summaries were rolling out this month at no cost. The ability to ask your inbox questions with AI Overviews is available to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.
Users can use Help Me Write to polish emails or draft them from scratch, as well as Suggested Replies.
