Did Gemini pop up in your Gmail today? Well, Google just rolled out Gemini features to all Google Workspace users—no extra fees, no fancy subscriptions required. Before this, Gemini was exclusive to those with a Google One AI Premium subscription, but now it’s here for everyone. Let’s break it down so you can start using it like a pro.

1. Summarize Email Threads with Ease

Gemini can turn long email threads into quick summaries, saving you from endless scrolling. Just click the “Ask Gemini” button, choose “summarize this email thread,” and let it highlight the key points and action items. Perfect for busy professionals drowning in emails.

3. Finding Information from Previous Emails

Need to find an old email or attachment? Gemini’s search feature uses natural language processing to locate what you need. Just ask something like, “Find the contract from last month,” and Gemini will pull it up in seconds.

4. Contextual Smart Reply

Gemini takes Gmail’s Smart Reply to the next level. It analyzes the entire email thread to suggest responses that actually make sense. Edit them for a personal touch or send them as-is—either way, you’ll save time.

5. Summarize Long Email Threads on Mobile

Even on the go, Gemini has your back. In the Gmail mobile app, tap the summarize button to get a quick overview of long threads. No more endless scrolling on your phone.

Gemini Q&A lets you ask specific questions about your emails. For example, “What’s the deadline for the project?” or “Find the flight details for next week.” It’s like having a search engine for your inbox.

7. Expanding Language Support

Gemini now supports more languages, including Spanish and Portuguese, with the “Help me write” feature. Google plans to add even more languages, making it easier for non-English speakers to use Gemini effectively.
