Gemini now summarizes Gmail emails automatically and by default

Gemini will start summarizing your emails in Gmail automatically and by default. The summaries will appear at the top of the email content “for messages where a summary is helpful”, Google says, “such as longer email threads or messages with several replies”.

Gemini will synthesize all the key points from the email thread and will automatically update the summary to include information from any subsequent replies.

Before, you needed to tap “Summarize this email” at the top of a message in order to get this functionality that is now on by default and automatic.

The feature is currently only rolling out for emails in English. For those emails that aren’t flagged by Gemini as being ones where a summary would be helpful, it won’t be automatically generated but you can still manually prompt it by tapping the Summarize this email chip at the top.

The rollout to everyone is expected to take up to 15 days. Note that this will only be available, for now, to Google Workspace subscribers, Google One AI Premium subscribers, and customers with Gemini Education or Gemini Education Premium.
