TL;DR Google has announced new features coming to its AI overview-style summary in Gmail.
The feature, called AI Inbox, is getting improved action controls, better file access, and support for personalized responses.
AI Inbox, previously limited to Google AI Ultra subscribers, will now also be available to AI Pro and AI Plus users.
Since the beginning of the year, Google has been toiling hard to make our Gmail inboxes clutter-free. Back in January, it first previewed “AI Inbox,” which, just like its non-AI namesake, is designed to help you master your inbox without missing any key conversations, even though the focus has now shifted from “zero inbox” to focusing on what matters. Over the past months, AI Inbox was released to the highest-paying Google AI Ultra subscribers in the US, but it’s now rolling out to more people. And with this expansion, Google is bringing new features.
At the I/o 2026 keynote, Google announced new additions making their way to Gmail’s AI Inbox. These new features include creating personalized replies that are drafted using helpful context from multiple email threads. In addition, AI Inbox can dig through your emails and make a specific document easily accessible right within the to-dos shown on top of the page.
Along with this, you can now initiate actions, such as drafting a response, viewing documents, or updating your Google Calendar entries right from the list of to-dos using dedicated buttons. And besides this, you mark entire threads as read or remove unhelpful suggestions from within the AI Inbox.
