Google has introduced a major AI update to Gmail, transforming email from a passive reading experience into an interactive one. The company has launched a new AI Inbox feature that understands emails, automatically creates to-do lists, and even drafts replies. The goal is to turn Gmail into a task management workspace. The AI ​​will prioritize important emails and handle everything from follow-ups to reminders. Currently, this feature is available to a limited number of users in the US.

What is AI Inbox, and how does it work?
Google's new AI Inbox feature uses artificial intelligence to understand the user's email patterns and separate important messages from less important ones. It analyzes the language and context of each email to determine the underlying tasks. It then automatically creates a to-do list. The AI ​​will also draft replies for emails requiring follow-up. This reduces the need for users to manually read and understand every email.

From Emails to Tasks, Reminders, and Summaries
AI Inbox will extract important information from scattered emails and present it in one place. Whether it's rescheduling a hospital appointment, responding to a business partner, or paying a fee by the weekend, the AI ​​will identify these tasks automatically. It will also provide timely reminders to ensure no important tasks are missed. Additionally, the AI ​​will create summaries of multiple emails related to the same topic, allowing users to quickly understand the entire conversation. It will function much like a virtual assistant.

AI to Extend to Calls and Payments in the Future
Google says that AI Inbox will not be limited to emails in the future. It can be integrated with other actions such as making phone calls or processing payments. This means that in the future, many tasks can be completed directly from Gmail. The company aims to develop it into an AI agent that can handle various digital tasks on behalf of the user. Currently, this feature is available to trusted testers in the US and will be rolled out to general users later.

What will Free and Paid Users Get?
Google will provide AI-generated email summaries and personalized auto-replies to all Gmail users for free. Meanwhile, those who subscribe to paid services like Google One AI Pro will get advanced features such as grammar checking and AI-powered summaries of email searches. For example, if someone asks which company provided the interior design estimate last year, the AI ​​will scan all the emails and provide the correct answer. However, experts are warning that suggesting too many tasks could increase pressure on users and raise questions about the trustworthiness of the AI's decisions.
