Google Expands Gemini in Gmail, Unlocking Core AI Tools for Free in the U.S.

Google says Gmail content will not train Gemini, with opt-outs available.

Overview

  • Starting now for U.S. English users, Gmail adds Gemini-powered summaries and natural-language helpers, with broader regional rollout planned in the coming months.
  • Previously paywalled tools—Help Me Write, Suggested Replies, and AI Overviews—are now free for all Gmail users.
  • Natural-language Q&A across the inbox and an enhanced correction feature remain limited to AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.
  • An optional AI Inbox that prioritizes tasks and highlights important messages launches first to trusted testers in the United States.
  • Google emphasizes secure data handling and allows users to disable AI features, noting that turning them off can also remove related functions such as spellcheck.
