Roll out of Gmail’s Gemini AI sidebar begins, but not everyone can access it

AI will soon be in your inbox as roll out of Gmail's Gemini AI side panel feature begins, aiming to speed up email drafting and organization.

The search giant announced the upcoming change in a Google Workspace Updates blog post, saying “We’re excited to introduce the general availability of Gemini in the Gmail side panel.” The use of Gemini in Gmail will provide suggested responses to emails, help with drafting messages, and allow users to summarize and ask questions to find specific information from the inbox or Google Drive files. While the feature sounds useful for anyone with a cluttered inbox, the roll out will only be available to people with Google One AI Premium, or the Business, Enterprise, or Education add-on from Gemini.
