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.

Anthropic has unveiled significant upgrades to its AI assistant, Claude, introducing an autonomous research capability and seamless Google Workspace integration. These enhancements transform Claude into what the company terms a "true virtual collaborator" aimed at enterprise users. The updates directly challenge OpenAI and Microsoft in the fiercely competitive market for AI productivity tools by promising comprehensive answers and streamlined workflows for knowledge workers. This move signals Anthropic's commitment to sharpen its edge in the AI assistant domain.
The new Research capability empowers Claude to autonomously conduct multiple searches that build upon each other, independently determining what to investigate next. Simultaneously, the Google Workspace integration connects Claude to users’ emails, calendars, and documents. This eliminates the need for manual uploads and repeated context-setting. Claude can now access Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Docs, providing deeper insights into a user's work context. Users can ask Claude to compile meeting notes, identify action items from email threads, and search relevant documents, with inline citations for verification. These upgrades, including Google Docs cataloging for Enterprise plan administrators utilizing retrieval augmented generation (RAG) techniques, emphasize data security. Anthropic underscores its security-first approach, highlighting that they do not train models on user data by default and have implemented strict authentication and access control mechanisms. The Research feature is available as an early beta for Max, Team, and Enterprise plans in the US, Japan, and Brazil, while the Google Workspace integration is available to all paying users as a beta version. These features are aimed at making daily workflows considerably more efficient.

Anthropic has announced major updates to its AI assistant, Claude, introducing both an autonomous research capability and Google Workspace integration. These enhancements are designed to transform Claude into a more versatile tool, particularly for enterprise users, and directly challenge OpenAI and Microsoft in the competitive market for AI productivity tools. The new "Research" feature allows Claude to conduct systematic, multi-step investigations across internal work contexts and the web. It operates autonomously, performing iterative searches to explore various angles of a query and resolve open questions, ensuring thorough answers supported by citations.
Anthropic's Google Workspace integration expands Claude's ability to interact with Gmail, Calendar, and Google Docs. By securely accessing emails, calendar events, and documents, Claude can compile meeting notes, extract action items from email threads, and search relevant files without manual uploads or repeated context-setting. This functionality is designed to benefit diverse user groups, from marketing and sales teams to engineers and students, by streamlining workflows and enhancing productivity. For Enterprise plan administrators, Anthropic also offers an additional Google Docs cataloging function that uses retrieval augmented generation techniques to index organizational documents securely. The Research feature is currently available in early beta for Max, Team, and Enterprise plans in the United States, Japan, and Brazil, while the Google Workspace integration is available in beta for all paid users globally. Anthropic emphasizes that these updates are part of an ongoing effort to make Claude a robust collaborative partner. The company plans to expand the range of available content sources and give Claude the ability to conduct even more in-depth research in the coming weeks. With its focus on enterprise-grade security and speed, Anthropic is betting that Claude's ability to deliver quick and well-researched answers will win over busy executives.
