There’s a lot of noise out there right now about AI and privacy. I wanted to cut through it and explain how we built Gemini in Gmail to keep your emails private.

@stevederico @BigTechAlert @gmail They do that too! :)

🆕 @gmail has started following @blakebarnes

@cyrilgupta Glad you think so! We agree. If/when you have a chance to use it, we’d love your feedback!

Wow, this is massive...How do you think AI Inbox will change the way people manage email, will it actually make reaching Inbox Zero realistic again?

@sugandhanisa Thanks for the feedback! We’re going to keep evolving AI Inbox to help you more efficiently achieve your goals and help you focus on what matters (review/action/etc).

My AI design pet-peeve is companies adding high-reading AI summary features on top of products that are already high on reading. "Don't like reading 10 emails every time? Here's 10 bullet-points you can read in addition." I think email’s current form factor will die in the future. A true "AI Inbox" should not create a new list of reading, it should ACT while I'm away and only present what needs my review/action.

@PeterRex Thanks @PeterRex! Hope you find AI Inbox useful and please let us know if you have ideas for improving it.

About time we got something like this native to Google. Huge for those who like to get actual work done instead of reading emails for hours.

@howardlindzon Let us know what you think! We're eager to hear what works well and how we can improve it too.

ok trying this...

@enne7499 @gmail No, when you use AI Inbox and other Gemini features inside Gmail, we don't use your personal content to train our foundational models.

@gmail so Google trains Gemini with my email content?

Inbox Zero is a thing of the past. Introducing AI Inbox: cut through your email clutter with smart prioritization and daily personalized briefings. Rolling out today in Beta for Google AI Ultra subscribers in the US. → goo.gle/4tjtfyK

@RShakthiguru @gmail No, it's real! :)

@gmail Is this April fool?

@winningthagame @gmail No, when you use AI Inbox and other Gemini features inside Gmail, we don't use your personal content to train our foundational models.

@gmail Does this mean Google AI model can read and save every single email, and every single word written inside each email??

@BasetaTube @gmail Glad to hear you're enjoying it! Let us know if you have thoughts on how we can make it even better.

@gmail Wow, loving this AI Inbox beta already! The interface looks so clean and helpful with those tailored briefs. As someone buried in emails daily, this is a lifesaver! Keep the magic coming ✨

@krishnanrohit Thanks @krishnanrohit! We're excited to continue to improve AI Inbox so let us know your feedback and ideas.

That's another two agents I had running killed by Google. Good work!

@AIGuyHQ @gmail Glad you're excited about our direction! We've spent a lot of time trying to get "important" right.

@gmail Gmail finally treating email as a triage problem instead of a storage one is the right framing and honestly overdue. Curious how well it handles the edge cases where "important" actually depends on context you haven't explicitly told it.
