More artificial intelligence is being implanted into Gmail as Google tries to turn the world’s most used email service into a personal assistant that can improve writing, summarize far-flung information buried in inboxes and deliver daily to-do lists.

Google is souping up Gmail with features from its Gemini 3 AI app. Here's what to know — including how to opt out.

When a user opens a message chain with dozens of replies, Gmail will generate “a concise summary of key points.” Google says this feature is rolling out today and will be free for all users.

Google just removed the paywall on Gmail’s premium AI tools, giving you Help Me Write, AI Overviews, and Suggested Replies for free.

The world’s largest email service just initiated step one in a larger plan to secure Google as your favorite AI platform.
