The Gmail Q&A feature is part of Google's shift from search to AI chat. It was previously rolled out to web users of Gmail who pay for Gemini or Google One AI Premium. Google is promoting features like Gmail Q&A to convince users of the value of the monthly subscription costs for Gemini. The company is also integrating Gemini into all its existing products, including Google Docs, Gmail, and Google Calendar, as a revenue-generating strategy.
Key takeaways:
- Google has introduced a new feature, Gmail Q&A, for Android users who pay for Gemini, Google's AI assistant. This feature allows users to chat with Gemini about their emails in the Gmail app.
- Gemini can summarize emails and search for specific details within them. However, users are warned about occasional inaccuracies that can occur with AI models.
- The feature is part of Google's shift from search to AI chat. It will also be added to other Google products, including Google Docs and Google Calendar, but at a cost.
- Currently, Gmail Q&A is only available to paying users, and it's unlikely to be available to free Gmail users anytime soon. The feature is part of Google's strategy to generate revenue from Gemini.
