Google’s AI assistant, Gemini, wins a more prominent place in your inbox with the start of brief e -mail cards that will appear on top of your emails. The company announced Thursday that users no longer need to use an option to summarize an email with AI. Instead, AI will automatically summarize the content when needed, without requiring users’ interaction.
When Gemini started in the side of Gmail last year, one of the features allowed users to summarize their long yarns of their email, along with other tools such as to design emails or see the proposed answers, among others.
Now, Google puts AI to work in your inbox, no matter if it is something you want to use.
Update is another example of the way AI quickly penetrates the software and the services they use most, even though AI summaries They are not always reliable. When Apple put AI summaries for App Push AP notifications, for example, the BBC found that the feature made recurrent errors when summarizing news titles. Apple ended up stopping AI summaries for news applications.
Google’s AI overview has also made repeated errors repeatedly, offering poor quality and inaccurate information from time to time.
With the new brief emails, Gemini will list the key points of the email and continue to update this summary as the answers arrive.
The feature will not replace the option for manually clicking on a button to summarize an email, Google Notes. This will still appear as chips at the top of the email and in the side of Gmail.
The operation is initially available only for English emails.
Depending on your area, summary cards may be back or turn off by default. (For example, smart characteristics are disabled in the EU, UK, Switzerland and Japan, Google Help Documentation Notes.) Others can choose Turn on or turn off mode From Gmail Settings under “Smart Features”. Workplace administrators can also choose to disable personalization settings for users from the Administrator console.
