Introducing AI into your daily workflow can be a game changer, especially when it comes to email management. If you're a Gmail user, you'll be glad to know you can use Gemini, Google's AI model, to streamline your email experience and improve productivity.
Like other powerful generative AI tools, Google's Gemini can help with daily tasks such as brainstorming, writing, and research. However, one advantage Gemini has over other tools like ChatGPT, is its integration with Google Workspace, allowing you to access Gmail and other Workspace tools within Gemini.
This Gemini extension helps you get more personalized responses to your queries. To enable Google Workspace tools and access Gmail in Gemini:
Once enabled, Gemini can access your Gmail inbox and other Workspace tools, including Google Docs and Google Drive.
You know those newsletters flooding your inbox, the ones you never get around to reading? You can keep up with these emails if you get Gemini to summarize them.
Here's an example of how to summarize your emails in Gemini:

You can also use Gemini to summarize emails from a specific sender. Simply type @Gmail in the text box and prompt Gemini to summarize an email from a specific sender or with a specific subject line. This can be useful for keeping track of important conversations without having to sift through multiple emails.
One of the best ways to use Gmail in Gemini is to quickly find a specific email. This saves you from endless scrolling and searching through your Gmail inbox, especially if you have a lot of emails to go through.
