Google’s Gemini comes to the Gmail side panel to help paying users compose, summarize, and retrieve email conversations.

Google recently introduced Gemini in Docs, Sheets, Slides and Drive. Now Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro model is also coming to the side panel of Gmail. Paying users can therefore take Gemini’s help in searching email conversations or composing and summarizing emails. In addition, Gemini is connected to Workspace apps and the chatbot can also retrieve information from them. The rollout for paying users has started and is also available in the mobile version.

Email Assistant

Gemini in Gmail helps users navigate through their emails and find answers faster. For paying users, a Gemini chat window now appears in the Gmail side panel. Here you can ask for a summary of an email conversation, suggest replies to an email conversation, or get help composing an email. In addition, you can ask targeted questions to pull specific information from your inbox or Google Drive files.

Gemini gives you proactive cues to help you get started, but you can also ask open-ended questions like, “When is the next team meeting?” This way, you can quickly find the information you need without leaving Gmail.

Connectedness

Workspace apps like Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive connect to Gemini in Gmail. This allows users to ask Gemini to look up specific information from a Google document and then process it into a response through Gmail.

Available for Gmail on the web and in the Gmail mobile app for Android and iOS, Gemini makes it easy for users on the go to summarize time-consuming email conversations or quickly look up information.

The feature is available to Google Workspace customers with a Gemini Business and Enterprise Add-on, Gemini Education and Education Premium Add-on, or Google One AI Premium. The rollout will begin on June 24, but it may take a few days for the feature to become available to everyone.
