Google Overhauls Gmail With Gemini, Previews AI Inbox

A U.S.-first rollout offers core tools free to personal accounts, with advanced search and proofreading limited to Google One AI Pro and Ultra.

Overview

  • Help Me Write, personalized Suggested Replies, and AI thread summaries are now free for all personal Gmail users in the U.S., with broader availability planned.
  • AI Overviews in Gmail search and a new proofreading tool launch for paying Google One AI Pro and Ultra subscribers, initially in browsers.
  • A new AI Inbox view that highlights to‑dos and topics is entering limited testing with trusted U.S. consumers and will sit alongside the classic inbox.
  • The previewed AI Inbox is not yet available for Google Workspace accounts and is focused on consumer Gmail during early testing.
  • Google says inbox data will not train its foundational models and users can turn off AI features, though the company and reviewers caution that Gemini can make mistakes.
