Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming an integral part of our online and mobile experiences, with exciting developments happening at a fast pace. One of the latest features powered by generative AI is summarization, allowing users to quickly digest articles, documents, and even phone conversations. Now, Google is set to introduce email summarization in the Gmail app.

According to PiunikaWeb, collaborating with AssembleDebug, Gmail for Android could be in for a smart upgrade that will provide users with concise summaries of lengthy emails using AI technology. In the latest version 2024.03.31.621006929 of the Gmail app, a new button called “Summarize this email” has been spotted.

While Google already offers email summaries for users of its Gemini for Workspace suite on the web version of Gmail, it’s now making its way to the Android app as well. This feature will be particularly useful for smartphone users dealing with long emails or those containing a wealth of information.

The new “Summarize this email” button appears to be available for all users, not just those using the Workspace suite. Positioned under the subject line in the mobile app, tapping on it currently doesn’t trigger any action as the feature is still in its testing phase. It’s anticipated that clicking on the button will bring up a pop-up window at the bottom of the screen with a summarized version of the email presented in bullet points.

In addition to this new button, a Gemini entry has been noticed in the three-dots menu on the top bar by tipsters. Although it currently doesn’t serve any function besides opening up a blank sheet with the Gemini logo and some text.

Gemini is Google’s Large Language Model (LLM), trained on vast amounts of publicly available data to generate human-like text responses to various questions. Rumors are also circulating that reply suggestions from Gemini may soon be integrated into Gmail on Android as well – so stay tuned for more updates!
