Google Launches AI-powered 'summary cards' in Gmail : Here's what is changing

Published: 2024-10-04 11:56:29 am

Google is transforming how Gmail presents information to its users. The tech giant has unveiled an update designed to help users manage the overwhelming amount of information in their inboxes more efficiently. This update includes redesigned summary cards and a new "Happening Soon" section, which aims to provide a streamlined way to handle emails related to purchases, events, bills, and travel.

What's New in Gmail Summary Cards?

The revamped summary cards come with a more modern look and introduce new action buttons. These buttons allow users to take quick actions, such as adding events to their calendar, inviting others, or setting reminders for bill payments—directly from the card.
"Summary cards are becoming more powerful on the backend as well," Google mentioned. "They organize key information from related emails and update in real-time, ensuring you always know when to expect deliveries."

New "Happening Soon" Section in Gmail

In addition to summary cards, Gmail will feature a new "Happening Soon" section at the top of the inbox. This section will focus on upcoming events and time-sensitive information, starting with purchase deliveries. The goal is to help users track important deadlines without sifting through individual emails.

For example, "once a purchase’s estimated delivery date is two days away, the 'Happening Soon' section will display the summary card, allowing you to see when your package will arrive quickly. If you have multiple deliveries expected around the same time, the cards will stack, and you can choose to expand, dismiss, or click to view the relevant email," Google explained.

Availability of New Summary Cards

AI-driven summary cards will initially be available on Android and iOS. Over the coming months, they will be rolled out for all four categories—purchases, events, bills, and travel—and will appear not only in individual emails but also in the "Happening Soon" section and Gmail search results.
