Overview
- Google is rolling out a dedicated AI view in Gmail that pulls out priority emails as to-dos and groups less urgent updates into quick topic summaries.
- The feature runs on Gemini 3 in a locked privacy environment that Google says keeps data contained and excludes personal Workspace content from AI training.
- Access is limited to the $249.99-per-month Google AI Ultra plan in the U.S., with a beta tag and settings that let users turn the AI features off.
- In the web app, AI Inbox sits above the regular Inbox and shows a greeting, a count, the last refresh time, and cards that link back to original messages.
- Google moved from January tests with trusted testers to this broader beta, and coverage notes potential expansion later without any confirmed timeline.
