Gemini takes the busywork

Google's assistant now finds emails, drafts replies, and turns action items into lists across Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Keep.

How the busywork moves

3. Extract actions

4. Make Keep lists

Cross-app agentic tools: Business/Enterprise Standard and Plus, Google AI Pro (no scheduling) and Ultra. English at launch.
