What is Gmail Bot?
Gmail Bot is an AI-assisted tool specifically designed for Gmail. After installation, it displays icons prominently at the top of the inbox list and on the email thread page; clicking these icons brings up a pop-up window where users can ask questions about recently received emails or the currently open thread, extract key information, or generate summaries. When composing a new email or replying to one, its “Generate” button appears right next to the Send button, automatically creating a draft for users to refine. This tool aims to leverage AI to rapidly parse email content, saving users time when handling their messages.
