Google unveils the future of Gmail — see all the new AI additions
NY Post
The future of Google is bright — with the help of smart technology.
After launching its generative artificial-intelligence feature in the popular search engine, Google unveiled the tech-savvy changes coming to its email service during the Google I/O keynote on Tuesday.
Gmail, which has approximately 1.8 billion users around the globe, will soon feature new tools fueled by AI, such as summarizing emails or suggesting responses, said the vice president and general manager of Google Workspace, Aparna Pappu.
The Side Panel Assistant, she revealed, will be able to digest emails and regurgitate a summarized version — thread replies and all — to save users time that would have been spent scrolling.
Next, the tech giant will also introduce a smart response function that offers customized suggestions to relay specific messages after the AI assistant combs through the thread.
There will also be a Q&A tool, which allows users to ask questions that AI model Gemini will answer based on the user’s emails. So, when you’re looking for an answer about when your shopping haul will arrive on your doorstep, you can simply ask the smart assistant to dig through your email and find it instead.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
