Google is significantly expanding the integration of its Gemini AI model across the Google Workspace suite. A key focus is enhancing Google Chat with AI-powered features designed to improve user efficiency and productivity. One notable addition is the ability for Gemini to provide summaries of unread conversations directly within the Chat home view. This feature, which initially launched last year, has been expanded to support four additional languages: French, Italian, Japanese, and Korean, making it more accessible to a global user base. Users can activate the "Summarize" button upon navigating to a conversation to receive a quick, bulleted synopsis of the message content, allowing for rapid review of recent activity and prioritization of important conversations.
The new summaries in home feature in Google Chat is aimed at streamlining the user experience and helping users find what they need faster. It works by leveraging Gemini's ability to quickly process and condense information, providing users with a concise overview of their active conversations. To access these summaries, users need to ensure that smart features and personalization are turned on in their Google Workspace settings. This can be managed by administrators in the Admin console, or by individual users through their personal settings. The rollout of this feature is gradual, with both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains experiencing visibility within a 15-day period starting May 30, 2025.
Google is also exploring the potential of AI to revolutionize email management. Demis Hassabis, head of Google DeepMind, has expressed a desire to develop a "next-generation email" system that can intelligently sort through inboxes, respond to routine emails in a user's personal style, and automate simpler decisions. This initiative aims to alleviate the "tyranny of the email inbox" and free up users' time for more important tasks. Hassabis envisions an AI assistant that not only manages emails but also protects users' attention from other algorithms competing for their focus, ultimately serving the individual and enriching their life.
