Google Workspace Changes

Gemini summary cards are now available in Gmail on the web, providing quick overviews of lengthy email threads.

Following their introduction on Android and iOS devices in May, Gemini summary cards are now being rolled out to Gmail on the web. These summaries will appear at the top of emails where a concise overview is beneficial, such as long email threads or messages with numerous replies. This feature aims to enhance productivity by quickly providing users with the essence of their email conversations, helping them to grasp key information at a glance.

Introducing Gmail's new 'Manage subscriptions' feature for easy email unsubscription.

Building on previous updates that made it easier to unsubscribe from individual emails, Gmail is introducing a new 'Manage subscriptions' feature. This view allows users to organize their subscription emails and unsubscribe from unwanted ones from a single location. Users can access this feature by clicking the navigation bar in their inbox and selecting 'Manage subscriptions.' The view sorts active subscriptions by the most frequent senders, showing the number of emails received. A one-click unsubscribe option sends a request to the sender on the user's behalf.

Gems, custom AI experts, are now available directly in the side panel of Gmail, allowing users to leverage customized AI assistance without switching applications.

Gems, which are custom AI experts designed to help complete specific goals, tasks, and workflows, are now integrated directly into the side panel of Gmail. This integration allows users to utilize both custom and pre-made Gems, such as a writing editor or sales pitch ideator, within the Gmail application. The feature aims to enhance efficiency by minimizing repetitive prompting and enabling tailored AI assistance for various tasks like creating content, generating sales interactions, or reviewing documents, all without needing to navigate away from the current application.
