Gmail’s new ‘summary cards’ find useful links and info buried in your emails

In an effort to make it a little easier to find all the stuff buried in your inbox, Gmail is releasing a big update to the “summary cards” feature that tries to surface the most important information in your messages before you even need to ask.
