Find any old quote or detail by simply asking your Gmail
You ask your inbox a question the way you'd ask an assistant, and it answers.
A sample of what you get back, made with AI.
Your prompt
Fill in your details. Skip any you like.
This AI can't be filled in from a link, so the button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.
The prompt that gets copied
Try these one at a time in Gmail's search bar, swapping in your details: 1) Who sent me a quote for [THE JOB, e.g. the bathroom remodel] in [YEAR OR MONTH], what was the price, and what was included? 2) When is my [POLICY OR SUBSCRIPTION, e.g. car insurance] up for renewal, and what did I pay last time? 3) What did [CLIENT NAME] and I agree on about [THE TOPIC, e.g. the project deadline] in our emails? 4) Which emails from the last [NUMBER OF DAYS, e.g. 14] days asked me a question I haven't answered yet?
Type a plain question into Gmail's search bar, like who quoted you for the roof last year, and Gemini answers from your own emails. It also sums up long threads in a tap.
