Google’s AI chatbot is coming to your Gmail inbox on Android

Google's AI-powered Gemini chatbot is now rolling out for Gmail on Android, with iOS soon to follow, to help manage your inbox efficiently.

Google’s latest AI-powered feature, the Gemini AI chatbot, is being introduced to help you manage your Gmail inbox more efficiently. After a recent launch on the web, this innovative tool is now rolling out on Android, with plans to bring it to iOS soon. The new feature, named Gmail Q&A, allows you to interact with your emails in a much more intuitive way.

How Gmail Q&A can help you

With Gmail Q&A, you can ask the Gemini AI to perform tasks such as finding specific details in your emails, displaying only unread messages, searching for messages from a particular sender, or summarising all emails related to a specific topic. These functions aim to save you time by reducing the need to scroll through countless emails to find what you need.

The feature was first showcased earlier this year at Google’s I/O conference and is now becoming available for wider use. For anyone who struggles with a cluttered inbox or needs to locate important information quickly, Gmail Q&A could be a game changer.

Who can use Gmail Q&A?

Before you get too excited, you should know a few things. Gmail Q&A won’t be accessible to everyone immediately. To use this feature, you need to be subscribed to Google One AI Premium or have a Google Workspace plan that includes the Gemini Business, Enterprise, Education, or Education Premium add-ons. Without these, you won’t be able to access the new capabilities.

Furthermore, like many AI tools, Gemini’s information may not always be completely accurate. Google’s AI, like others, is prone to โ€˜hallucinationsโ€™โ€”a term used to describe when AI generates incorrect or misleading information. So, it’s always a good idea to double-check any details the chatbot presents to ensure they are correct.

When will it be available?

The rollout for Gmail Q&A began on Thursday, and Google has mentioned that it may take up to 15 days before it becomes available on your Android device. The company is gradually making the feature accessible to ensure a smooth user experience, and it will also be “coming soon” for iOS users.

By incorporating this AI technology directly into your Gmail app, Google aims to make your email experience more efficient and user-friendly. Whether you are a busy professional managing hundreds of emails daily or simply looking to keep your inbox organised, the Gemini AI chatbot could be valuable.
