You know that feeling when you just know there's an email hiding in your inbox, containing some precious bit of information, but you just can't find it? It happens to me every week day hour.

Now, however, Android users who happen to be paying for Google's One AI Premium package can make Google's AI assistant Gemini do the hard work for them.

To do so, tap the black Gemini star at the top right of your Gmail app on Android (or from the "summarize this email" chip), and then ask it questions. Some examples of things you can ask include "What was the PO number for my agency?", "How much did the company spend on the last marketing event?", or "Catch me up on the emails about quarterly planning," per Google's blog post.

All of this has recently been introduced to the web version of Gmail, and Google says it'll also be coming to iOS "soon." The feature is rolling out to Android gradually, so it might take two more weeks until you see it in your Gmail app.

Google has lately been steadily adding Gemini features to Gmail, including the ability to help you write emails, summarize them for you, as well as polish your drafts. All of this, however, is currently only available for people paying for Gemini for Google Workspace or Google One AI Premium.
