What to know

  • Gemini will now automatically summarize long emails for users.
  • This feature is enabled by default unless you opt out.
  • The goal is to help users manage and read lengthy emails more efficiently.
  • You can turn off this feature in your settings if you prefer full emails.

Google has announced that Gemini, its AI-powered assistant, will now automatically summarize long emails for users. This change is designed to help you quickly understand the main points of lengthy messages without reading the entire text.

The new feature is enabled by default. If you receive a long email, Gemini will generate a summary at the top of the message. This summary aims to highlight the most important information, making it easier for you to decide if you need to read the full email or take action.

If you prefer to read your emails in full, you can opt out of this feature. The option to disable automatic summaries is available in your Gmail settings. Once you turn it off, Gemini will stop summarizing your emails automatically.

Google says this update is part of its ongoing efforts to use AI to help users manage their inboxes more efficiently. The company believes that automatic summaries can save time and reduce information overload, especially for users who receive a large volume of emails daily.

This feature is rolling out gradually, so you may see it appear in your Gmail account soon. If you want to keep seeing full emails, remember to check your settings and opt out if needed.
