Google's Gemini can now sort a Gmail inbox with 70,000 unread emails

A writer at Inc. pointed Google's Gemini at a Gmail inbox holding 70,000 unread emails and reported back. The verdict: using the tool is like having a chief of staff for your Gmail. A chief of staff is a top assistant who handles the busywork so you can focus on what matters.

What it does

Inc. says the Gemini-powered feature can help tame a crowded inbox. Gemini is Google's AI assistant, and here it works inside Gmail. The article lists five ways the tool can help clear and manage a messy inbox.

What is not known yet

The article text was not available for this summary, so the five ways are not spelled out here. The material also does not say what the feature costs, when it rolls out, or which Gmail accounts can use it. It does not say how well the tool sorted those 70,000 emails, or how long it took.

Who it affects

Anyone with an overflowing inbox is the obvious audience. That includes business owners, who often use email as a to-do list and let it pile up.

What to do

Before turning on any AI tool that reads your email, check what it can see and what it can do with your messages. Your inbox holds personal and financial details. Look at the settings and privacy notes first.

• Check whether the feature is available on your account.
• Read what data the tool can access.
• Try it on a small batch before a full cleanup.
