Google rolls out AI chatbot for Gmail on Android

The Gmail Q&A feature arrives on Android, allowing users to leverage Gemini’s AI to better manage their emails.

Google brings its AI chatbot to Gmail on Android

Google recently introduced the ability to use its Gemini AI chatbot to ask questions about your Gmail inbox on the web. Now, this feature is coming to mobile devices, starting with Android. According to Google, the Gmail Q&A feature is beginning to roll out on Android and will be “coming soon” to iOS devices.

How Gmail Q&A works

With the Gmail Q&A feature, users can ask Gemini questions about their inbox. You can request it to find specific details in emails, show unread messages, view messages from a specific sender, or summarize emails about a particular topic in your inbox. Google previewed this feature earlier this year during its I/O conference.

A more effective way to manage emails

This new feature offers an innovative way to sift through emails or find something that might be buried deep in your inbox. However, it’s important to note that the feature is not available to all users. To use it, you need to subscribe to Google One AI Premium or be on a Google Workspace plan with Gemini Business, Enterprise, Education, or Education Premium add-ons.

A word of caution when using AI

As with many generative AI tools, it’s advisable to always double-check that Gemini doesn’t “hallucinate” any of the results it pulls up. The Gmail Q&A feature began rolling out as of Thursday, and Google says it could take up to 15 days to appear for everyone.
