Google adds new AI feature in Gmail to search and find emails

Google shared the launch of a new and smarter AI-powered search feature that is intended to help users find the emails they need with fewer delays.

The upgraded search results feature works by analysing a range of factors in the user’s inbox to show them more relevant emails instead of just the most recent one. However, users can choose between seeing the most recent emails that fit their search criteria, as well as the most relevant emails.

“Instead of just showing emails in chronological order based on keywords, Gmail search results now factor in elements like recency, most-clicked emails and frequent contacts. With this update, the emails you’re looking for are far more likely to be at the top of your search results — saving you valuable time and helping you find important information more easily,” said Google in a blog post.

The tech giant noted that the “most relevant” email update will be rolled out to those with personal Google accounts via the web and in the Gmail app for Android and iOS.
