【Watch Gun Hill Online】

At Google I/O,Watch Gun Hill Online the company unveiled a major push to infuse AI deeper into Gmail. The tech giant is promising users that the change will translate to less time spent writing emails and more time doing literally anything else. With the help of Gemini, Google’s flagship AI model, Gmail is moving from a helpful assistant to a full-on writing partner, scheduler, and inbox manager.

Here are all the new Gemini-powered features coming this summer to Gmail.

Smart replies

Google’s first big update is personalized smart replies. Unlike the canned one-liners we’re used to (“Sounds good,” “Thanks!”), this new system draws context from your inbox and Google Drive. It adapts to your tone — whether you’re casual or formal — and pulls in relevant details, so replies feel more natural.

In a demo, a dog groomer named Stephanie replies to customers without typing a word. Gemini generates answers in her voice, grabs appointment details from past messages, and inserts pricing from her Drive files. It’s fast, frictionless, and a little uncanny.

Decluttering

Next comes inbox cleanup, the kind of task we all put off. Gemini can now archive and delete emails on command. Ask it to clear out last month’s confirmations, and your inbox refreshes itself — no clicks required.

It’s undeniably useful, especially for anyone buried in years of digital clutter.

Meeting scheduling

Depending on who you ask, native appointment booking in Gmail might be the most practical new feature announced. No more bouncing between email threads and Calendar tabs — now, when Gemini detects you're trying to set up a meeting, it’ll prompt you to insert availability directly into your reply.

This feature could be handy when coordinating with people outside your organization. Recipients can book directly via your shared booking page.
