Google is testing a brand-new feature called AI Inbox, designed to reduce inbox clutter and help users focus on what truly matters.
AI Inbox acts like a personalised briefing system, highlighting urgent emails, surfacing to-do items, and prioritising important contacts. It analyses factors such as:
Frequent contacts
Saved contacts
Inferred relationships from email conversations
Urgency indicators (e.g., bills, appointments)
According to Google, this processing includes built-in privacy protections, ensuring user data remains under their control.
The feature is currently available only to trusted testers, with a wider rollout expected in the coming months.
