Google is adding more Gemini features to Gmail, providing upgrades like artificial intelligence-generated summaries of email threads, the company said Thursday.
The company said its latest updates will be rolled out in phases, and some features will be turned on by default in inboxes, meaning users who don't want them will have to opt out.
"When you open an email with dozens of replies, Gmail synthesizes the entire conversation into a concise summary of key points," Google wrote in a blog post.
The company said AI Overviews, which show up at the top of search results, are also being added to Gmail.
The updates come as Google embeds its Gemini AI technology across its wide portfolio of consumer products. Google is counting on its massive customer base to provide an advantage as the company takes on the likes of OpenAI, Anthropic and others in the booming generative AI market.
Google says Gmail now has more than 3 billion users.
