Gmail rolling out AI Overviews, AI Inbox, and Help Me Write Features
Big changes are coming to Gmail. Following the Gmail address change feature, Google is flooding its email service with AI. Gmail is getting AI features powered by Gemini 3, including AI Overviews for instant answers, enhanced Help Me Write tools, Suggested Replies, and AI Inbox prioritization. Here’s everything new in Gmail, which could change email management for 3 billion users starting today, for better or worse.
Google recently rolled out a very useful feature that would allow you to change or fix your @gmail email addresses. In a recent announcement spotted by the “Google Pixel Hub” group on Telegram, it says Google is now rolling out the ability to alter/change your email addresses.
The email address associated with your Google Account is the address you use to sign in to Google services. This email address helps you and others identify your account. If you’d like, you can change your Google Account email address that ends in gmail.com to a new email address that ends in gmail.com.
This change is followed by Google’s Material 3 Expressive design language and Gemini for Gmail.
What’s more? Gmail enters the Gemini 3 era with AI-Powered features coming to your favorite Email Management in 2026.
AI Overviews
AI Overviews extract information from Gmail inboxes. Rather than forcing users to become “power searchers” and manually sift through countless messages, AI Overviews synthesizes information into clear, actionable answers.
The functionality works in two powerful ways. First, when opening lengthy email threads with dozens of replies, Gmail now automatically generates concise summaries highlighting key points from the entire conversation.
Second, users can now ask their inbox questions using natural language. Instead search queries with specific keywords, you can simply ask something like “Who was the plumber that gave me a quote for the bathroom renovation last year?”
Google claims this feature addresses a problem many users face: having valuable information buried somewhere in their inbox but lacking an efficient way to retrieve it.
AI Overviews are rolling out today for all users at no cost, though the ability to ask questions of your inbox is reserved for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.
Enhanced Writing Tools for Every User
Starting today, the Help Me Write feature becomes available to everyone at no cost, enabling users to polish existing emails or draft new ones from scratch.
Suggested Replies Get Smarter
Building on the foundation of Smart Replies, Google is introducing upgraded Suggested Replies that leverage conversation context to offer relevant, one-click responses that match your personal writing style.
Proofread: Your Personal Editor
For Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers, there’s an additional Proofread feature offering advanced grammar, tone, and style checks. This goes beyond basic spell-checking to ensure your emails are polished and professional before they leave your outbox.
Looking ahead to next month, Google plans to enhance Help Me Write further by incorporating context from other Google apps, promising even better personalization across the ecosystem.
AI Inbox
AI Inbox challenges email overload. With inboxes flooded with updates ranging from critical to completely irrelevant, AI Inbox acts as an intelligent filter, highlighting what truly matters while pushing noise into the background.
How AI Inbox works
It identifies your VIPs based on multiple signals: people you email frequently, contacts in your address book, and relationships it can infer from message content. High-priority items like bills due tomorrow or appointment reminders automatically rise to the top.
Importantly, Google emphasizes that this analysis happens securely with robust privacy protections. Your data remains under your control, with processing designed to respect user privacy expectations.
Currently, AI Inbox is being tested with select users before a broader rollout in the coming months. This measured approach suggests Google is taking care to refine the feature based on real-world feedback.
