Gmail for Android is getting a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature that will allow users to search their inbox. Google announced the Gemini-powered feature, dubbed Gmail Q&A, for its Workspace users. With this, users can prompt Gemini in Gmail to look up specific information from emails in the inbox. The AI will be able to find the information. The feature was already available in the web version of Gmail. However, now it will also be available on the Android app. The tech giant said the feature will soon be shipped for iOS as well.
Gmail Q&A Feature Rolled Out for Android
Google announced the feature in a blog post stating that the feature will be available within the Gemini tool present at the top-right of the Gmail app. However, to access it, users will need to sign in their Google Workspace account. Apart from searching information from the inbox, users can also use the feature to see unread messages. They can also use this feature to view messages from a specific sender, or summarize emails.
To access the feature, users can tap on the black Gemini star at the top right of the app. Alternatively, users can tap on the “summarise this email” chip when inside an email thread. Users can ask Gmail Q&A vague questions such as “How much did the company spend on the last marketing event?”. Gemini will be able to find it by scouring the inbox.
The company said that in future, the AI feature will also be able to find information from the files and documents saved in Google Drive as well. The blog post stated that it can take up to 15 days for the feature to reach all Workspace users. Notably, Workspace users must have subscribed to one of the following add-ons. These include Gemini Business, Enterprise, Education, Education Premium, and Google One AI Premium.
