Google Gmail Q&A Feature Launches on Android Platform

2024-08-30

Google has recently unlocked a new feature that allows users to directly ask questions to their Gmail inbox through its Gemini AI chatbot on webpages. Now, this convenient feature is about to land on mobile devices, bringing users a more flexible operating experience. According to Google, the Gmail Q&A feature has made its debut on the Android platform and is expected to "quickly" expand to iOS platforms.

In a blog post by Google, Gmail Q&A is described as a powerful assistant that allows users to ask Gemini various questions about their inbox, such as searching for specific information in emails, displaying a list of unread emails, filtering emails from specific senders, and summarizing email summaries about a particular topic in the inbox. This feature first appeared at Google's I/O developer conference this year and has attracted widespread attention.

Gmail Q&A is expected to become an effective tool for users to efficiently filter and search for email content, especially for users with a large number of emails in their inbox. It may reveal key information hidden deep within. However, it is worth noting that this feature is currently not available to all users. It requires users to subscribe to the Google One AI Premium service or have advanced add-ons such as Gemini Business, Enterprise, Education, or Education Premium in the Google Workspace plan.

Similar to many generative AI tools, users should also exercise caution and carefully verify the information provided by Gemini to ensure its authenticity and accuracy while enjoying the convenience brought by Gemini.

The mobile promotion of the Gmail Q&A feature officially started this Thursday. Google reminds users that depending on their individual circumstances, it may take up to 15 days for the feature to appear in their accounts.
