One of the most remarkable new features for email is . It recently made its way to the web version of Gmail, and now Google is rolling it out to users of the best Android phones. For those with iOS devices, the company says it's "coming soon," so you may not have to wait too long to dig through those old emails more quickly.

In a blog post, Google broke down what the new feature is capable of, and it sounds pretty promising. "You can ask Gemini questions about your inbox or to do things like find specific details in your emails, show you unread messages, view messages from a specific sender, or summarize emails about a topic in your inbox," said Google in the post.

As far as why the feature is cool, Google also explained: "We are excited to help users supercharge their productivity with the help of Gemini in Gmail. Users now have even more capabilities from Gemini to help users get more done during their day at their desks and now, on the go."

How Q&A can make your life easier

Google provided several examples of how you can use the to find the emails you need. "What was the PO number for my agency?" or "How much did the company spend on the last marketing event?" were some examples Google cited, keeping it focused on work.

Not all Gmail users will have access to Q&A. Google Workspace customers under the Gemini Business, Enterprise, Education, Education Premium and Google One AI Premium will be able to use it. If you're under one of those plans, you must have smart features and personalization turned on.

If you have all those caveats locked down, you'll need to open Gemini in the Gmail app via the black Gemini star at the top right.

The feature is slated to expand to Google Drive, making finding files more manageable.
