Gmail is moving to the Gemini 3 AI model.

A key innovation is the AI Overviews system, which automatically creates concise summaries from long email threads. The AI analyzes the correspondence, identifying important details, promises made, decisions made, and necessary next steps. This could significantly transform corporate email management, reducing the time spent processing incoming messages.

Conversational search has also been implemented. Users can find relevant emails using natural language queries, without having to remember precise keywords or subject lines.

Letter-writing tools like Help Me Write have become free for all users, signaling the technology's transition to basic functionality. The Suggested Replies feature analyzes a user's communication style to suggest responses tailored to their style.

Experiments are underway with the AI Inbox feature, where AI automatically sorts incoming emails by importance and urgency, acting as an automatic filter.
