Gmail rolling out Gemini-powered Summarize to Android, iOS

In addition to the Gemini side panel on the web, Gmail for Android and iOS is now rolling out a Summarize capability to paid customers.

To date, the primary AI feature in mobile Gmail has been Help me write. Gmail is now gaining a Gemini-powered “Summarize this email” button that appears underneath the subject line. 

It only appears in email threads that have “more than 2 responses,” with a Gemini sheet sliding up from the bottom of your screen. You can rate the response with a thumbs up/down.

This is rolling out starting today and will be fully available in the coming weeks. Next month, Google will launch Gmail Q&A and Contextual Smart Reply.

Meanwhile, the Gemini side panel, which is powered by 1.5 Pro, in web Gmail lets you:

• Summarize an email thread 
• Suggest responses to an email thread 
• Get help drafting an email 
• Ask questions and find specific information from emails within your inbox or from your Google Drive files 

Upon tapping the Gemini sparkle icon in the top-right corner, Gmail will suggest “proactive prompts.” This is rolling out starting today and will be fully available over the coming weeks

Both features are available for:

• Gemini Business and Enterprise add-on 
• Gemini Education and Education Premium add-on 
• Google One AI Premium
