<p>Earlier this year, we launched <a href="https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/gmail/gmail-is-entering-the-gemini-era/" target="_blank">AI Inbox</a> in Gmail which helps users catch up on what matters most. Starting today, we’re expanding AI Inbox to paid Google Workspace users. By highlighting key actionable to-do’s and summarizing priority work updates across your emails, AI Inbox makes it easier to stay on top of daily business workflows.</p><p>AI Inbox’s core capabilities:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Suggested to-dos: </b>Automatically extracts action items, deliverables, and deadlines embedded within email conversations. Teams and business leaders gain clear visibility into critical follow-ups without manual note-taking or scanning through dense threads.</li><li><b>Topics to catch up on:</b> Delivers clear, context-rich summaries of your most important topics, across multi-message threads and rapid back-and-forth discussions. Users can reference this section to get caught up on the latest key decisions and status changes.</li></ul><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3UGVMuQqUSiy8_9z8wgAq2YDGam3foLy4ws1_CHQX3ytkaHaCHDo_U6sblz3m8rhpVoLMtELfit9tYtC-iYq7MFDC3tS5BqS7kAwz_Nz-lfPh4Gp7gmBXfXujIMmX9QcUgsoz80wFnb-k4yU1cUZlPwmJW9J3PXcF9so5SijwG0Khk5Wz1k59kaw6Pw0/s2048/Gmail%E2%80%99s%20AI%20Inbox%20is%20rolling%20out%20to%20paid%20Workspace%20users%20-%206769.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1354" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3UGVMuQqUSiy8_9z8wgAq2YDGam3foLy4ws1_CHQX3ytkaHaCHDo_U6sblz3m8rhpVoLMtELfit9tYtC-iYq7MFDC3tS5BqS7kAwz_Nz-lfPh4Gp7gmBXfXujIMmX9QcUgsoz80wFnb-k4yU1cUZlPwmJW9J3PXcF9so5SijwG0Khk5Wz1k59kaw6Pw0/s1600/Gmail%E2%80%99s%20AI%20Inbox%20is%20rolling%20out%20to%20paid%20Workspace%20users%20-%206769.gif" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Getting started</h3><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Admins:</b> There is no admin control for this feature.</li><li><b>End users: </b>Eligible users can access AI Inbox directly within the Gmail desktop client or mobile app menu.
