Personalized AI-powered Smart Replies are coming to Gmail

Like it or not, Google's Gemini AI is worming its way into more of your Workspace apps. At I/O 2025, CEO Sundar Pichai announced that its upcoming Gmail app will have a new feature called Personalized Smart Replies. The idea is that with your permission, Gemini can examine your past emails and Google docs, then help you craft responses to personal- or business-oriented emails. 

In an example onstage at I/O, Pichai used the example of a friend taking a road trip through Colorado to Utah, a trip the friend knew Pichai had taken before. Gemini is able to look through all the notes in Drive, looking through email for related reservations and finding an itinerary in Google Docs. It'll pull all that stuff together and then draft an email that matches the typical tone, style and even words that Pichai commonly uses. 

Google also wants to help you manage your emails better with a new Inbox cleanup feature. "Simply tell Gemini what you want to do (e.g., 'delete all my unread emails from [a specific company] last year') and watch as it helps you manage and declutter your inbox with a single click." Another new feature is integrated fast appointment scheduling, letting you offer times for customers to make bookings directly from Gmail.

All these new features are coming to Google's Workspace subscribers starting this summer. Though they may prove useful to many users, some have found Google's addition of recent Gemini features to be intrusive and unwelcome.
