Wow.

Google just added an "AI Inbox" to my Gmail & this might be genuinely the most useful AI product Google has ever released.

It somehow found the most pressing items in my massive email inbox and told me exactly what I needed to know and do.

Agentic email has arrived.

@victorstuber @Google @gmail G1 Ultra subscribers got it a few months ago, G1 Plus and Pro rollout started last week! US only for now.

[Blake Barnes @blakebarnes]

Excited that we've started to roll out AI Inbox to G1 Plus and Pro subscribers in the US. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Earlier this year we announced AI Inbox in @Gmail to help you better manage and stay on top of your inbox by intelligently prioritizing your most important updates and time-sensitive tasks securely.

At #GoogleIO we shared our latest updates to AI Inbox, including:
📧 AI Inbox will generate personalized draft replies so you can review and respond in seconds.
📋 Managing your to-do list in a helpful homebase screen. Mark individual tasks done, dismiss unhelpful suggestions, and mark emails read in a single click.
📂 When you need to review a Google Doc, Sheet or Slide, the relevant link is surfaced right next to your to-do item.

@dflieb @albertwenger @albertwenger thanks for the feedback and I’m sorry Gmail search isn’t delivering for you. I’ll DM you for details so we can debug what’s going on.

[Blake Barnes @blakebarnes]

There’s a lot of noise out there right now about AI and privacy. I wanted to cut through it and explain how we built Gemini in Gmail to keep your emails private.

[Google @Google]

Your inbox is your business. Gemini in @gmail helps you without holding onto your data or using your personal emails to train our foundational AI models. Gmail VP @blakebarnes explains how 👇

[Blake Barnes @blakebarnes]

@stevederico @BigTechAlert @gmail They do that too! :)

[Blake Barnes @blakebarnes]

@sugandhanisa Thanks for the feedback! We’re going to keep evolving AI Inbox to help you more efficiently achieve your goals and help you focus on what matters (review/action/etc).
