Gmail for Android gets Q&A feature with Gemini integration

Google has started rolling out the Gmail Q&A feature on Android devices, integrating Gemini to improve inbox management. This new functionality enables users to ask Gemini questions about their emails directly within the Gmail app for Android.

Gmail Q&A with Gemini

With Gmail Q&A, users can query specific details in their emails, locate unread messages, view emails from specific senders, or receive summaries of emails on particular topics. Previously, this feature was available on the Gmail web version via the Gemini side panel.

Getting Started
  • To activate Gmail Q&A, administrators must enable smart features and personalization through the Admin console.
  • End users can access Gemini by tapping the black Gemini star at the top right of the Gmail app or using the “summarize this email” chip.

Initially, Gmail Q&A will search for information in your inbox, with plans to expand to Google Drive content in future updates.

Rollout and Availability

The Gmail Q&A feature began rolling out on August 29, 2024, with a gradual rollout period of up to 15 days. It will soon be available on iOS.

Note that this feature is only accessible to Google Workspace customers with Gemini Business, Enterprise, Education, Education Premium, and Google One AI Premium add-ons.

Announcing the availability, Google posted,

We are excited to help users supercharge their productivity with the help of Gemini in Gmail. Users now have even more capabilities from Gemini to get more done during their day at their desks and on the go.
