Google’s messaging service is preparing to integrate a new button that is really very useful for its many users.
In the race for the technology market, Google is banking on adding new functions to constantly improve its well-known tools, the search engine, YouTube, and even Gmail. Improvements which are part of the American giant’s desire to make life easier for its users. And Google understands this well: today, the average Internet user is increasingly looking to save time, both at home and at work. He therefore turns to the tools that offer the most efficiency and speed in their use.
One example among others: emails. Since their arrival, they have shaped the daily lives of many people, particularly employees. Instant messaging may be used more and more, but email is still the king of communication today. According to the sources of a statistical study published on February 6, 2024, every day, no less than 361.6 billion emails are sent and received all over the world. The forecast is expected to reach 392.2 billion in 2026 according to German data portal Statista. As a result, the number of emails should continue to increase over the years.
How to navigate these often full mailboxes. Savvy customers recently spotted a new feature in development by Google. The latter should integrate Gemini Artificial Intelligence into the Gmail messaging service. This appears in the form of a button, “summarize this email”, located below the subject of the email. Initially, it would be accessible to professionals with a Google Workspace profile, on the mobile application.
AI would thus facilitate reading and summarize sometimes long and tedious emails in a single click, saving significant time. It could make summaries even more beneficial by taking into account each user’s communication style and history.
No announcement has been made recently regarding a list of compatible devices, but Google suggests widespread use for consumers with an open email account. AI will also make it possible, in part, to browse users’ discussion threads to prevent them from doing it themselves. Unfortunately, we will have to wait since no official date has been communicated for the arrival of this “summary” button on the messaging service of your smartphones.
