Google’s AI chatbot for your Gmail inbox is rolling out on Android

Google recently started letting you use its Gemini AI chatbot to ask questions about your Gmail inbox on the web, and now, that feature is coming to mobile. The company says its Gmail Q&A feature is starting to roll out on Android and that the feature will be “coming soon” to iOS.

Using Gmail Q&A, “you can ask Gemini questions about your inbox or to do things like find specific details in your emails, show you unread messages, view messages from a specific sender, or summarize emails about a topic in your inbox,” according to Google’s blog post. Google previewed Gmail Q&A earlier this year at its I/O conference.

Gmail Q&A could be a potentially useful way to sift through your email or find something that might be buried in the depths of your inbox. But note that the feature isn’t available to all users: you’ll need to subscribe to Google One AI Premium or be on a Google Workspace plan with the Gemini Business, Enterprise, Education, or Education Premium add-ons.

As with many generative AI tools, you should also always double-check that Gemini doesn’t hallucinate anything that it pulls up.

Gmail Q&A is starting to roll out as of Thursday, and Google says it could take up to 15 days to show up for you.
