Google has begun rolling out automatic email summarization powered by its Gemini AI model within the Gmail mobile app. This new feature aims to streamline the process of reviewing lengthy email threads by providing a concise summary at the top of the message content, without requiring manual activation. The Gemini-generated summaries are designed to help users quickly grasp the main points of an email thread, especially when dealing with complex or multi-reply conversations. This initiative reflects Google's broader strategy to integrate AI more seamlessly across its Workspace applications to enhance user productivity and efficiency.
The automatic summarization feature is currently available for English-language emails on Android and iOS devices, specifically for Google Workspace Business and Enterprise users, as well as Google One AI Premium subscribers. As new replies are added to an email thread, the summaries are dynamically updated to reflect the latest information. Users who prefer manual control can collapse the summary cards if they find them unhelpful, and they can still use the "Summarize this email" button for messages where the automatic feature isn't triggered. This rollout follows Google's push to embed Gemini across its products.
Google emphasizes its commitment to user data protection and privacy with this AI integration. Users need to have smart features and personalization turned on in Gmail, Chat, and Meet, as well as smart features in Google Workspace. This new capability has been generally available since May 29, 2025. While it is currently limited to mobile devices, Google may consider expanding the feature to desktop users in the future. Google also has indicated that they plan to add more languages at a later date.
