For busy business owners, long email chains can be time-consuming to read through, especially when you're trying to catch up on important conversations!

But the good news is that you no longer have to sift through lengthy back-and-forth emails to keep track of key conversations.

This is because Gemini provides users with concise summaries of email threads (with more than 2 replies) that automatically highlight the key points and action items for you.

To use this feature, simply click the ‘Summarize this email’ option at the top of an email thread, or prompt Gemini to create a summary. It’s that easy!

From this prompt, Gemini AI instantly generates a summary, allowing you to stay informed and make decisions swiftly.

The summary may also include interactive elements, such as clicking on a website referenced in the email chain or setting a reminder for an event through Google Calendar.

This feature is particularly useful for professionals who need to quickly grasp the essence of discussions without having to wade through lengthy messages.

Additionally, Gemini can also provide summaries for longer individual emails, cutting through the clutter to deliver a quick, clear summary in seconds.

It’s important to note that Gemini can only generate summaries for Gmail threads in English.

It’s time to stop digging through endless email threads! With the help of Gemini, you can find exactly what you're looking for within your inbox in seconds.

Whether you're trying to find unread emails, track messages from specific people, or filter by a date range, Gemini can help you get the answers you need fast.

Just click ‘Ask Gemini,’ then type in your question, and it pulls up relevant results directly in Gmail search.

There’s absolutely no manual scrolling required, just quick, accurate answers!

Instead of starting completely from scratch, simply provide Gemini AI with a brief description of the email you need to write.

It will then generate a draft for you in the blink of an eye!

Simply click 'Help me write,' then describe your message or choose from options like Formalize, Elaborate, Shorten, or Polish to match the tone and structure.

This can save significant time and effort, especially when composing routine or complex messages.

You can then review and refine the draft as needed, tailoring it to your specific requirements or brand voice. 

And thanks to Gemini’s Contextual Smart Reply, you can easily respond to your emails with confidence!

This is perfect if you’re short on time or simply can’t quite find the right words.

By analyzing the email content and context, Gemini offers three fully composed reply suggestions, each with a clear header that conveys the tone and intent of the message.

All you need to do is simply pick the one that fits best and tweak it as needed!

This is the perfect solution for time-poor businesses wanting to maintain a personal touch within every email conversation.

Are you tired of sending emails with typos or awkward phrasing? Gemini offers a seamless solution by allowing you to proofread your draft messages directly within your emails!

From finding spelling and grammar errors to suggesting improvements in sentence structure and word choice, Gemini enhances the impact and readability of your messages.

And because Gemini catches your mistakes before hitting send, you’ll craft professional emails every single time.

Whether you're drafting a quick reply or composing a lengthy proposal, Gemini acts as your personal editor, providing a crucial second set of eyes!

Did you know that Gemini within Gmail also seamlessly integrates with other Google Apps, such as Google Drive and Google Calendar, to help streamline workflows?

As everything is connected, you can reference Google Drive files and documents within your emails, which helps summarize meeting notes or project details from Google Docs.

And adding recurring or one-off events to Google Calendar is as easy as asking Gemini things like ‘Add this to my calendar’ or ‘Create a weekly meeting on Fridays at 8:00 am’.

But the best part is, Gemini can also provide you with information on events currently scheduled on your primary calendar.

From scheduling a meeting to adding a task to your to-do list or sending a reminder, Gemini ensures no crucial tasks slip through the cracks!
