AI Overviews in Gmail search now available globally for paid plans with English language setting.
Starting September 15, 2026, Google is expanding AI Overviews in Gmail search to all global users on paid Workspace plans whose Gmail language is set to English. The feature, which uses Gemini to provide concise summaries and answers to natural language queries, was previously limited to US users. Admins need Gemini for Workspace in Gmail and Workspace Intelligence access enabled; end users must have smart features turned on. Rollout began on September 3 for Rapid Release domains (gradual over up to 15 days) and will start September 21 for Scheduled Release domains (full rollout within 1–3 days). Personal Google Accounts also see a gradual rollout from September 3.

Workspace Studio adds a Reply to email step to automate Gmail replies within existing threads.
The Reply to email step automatically sends email replies preserving conversation history, useful for support, triage, and task tracking. Admins can disable the step and require end‑user approval when actions may share data outside the organization.
