Google is expanding its “Ask Gemini in Drive” feature so that users can include Gmail content when asking questions. Multiple outlets report that Google AI subscribers can prompt Gemini while working in Google Drive and have the assistant search through relevant Gmail threads to find information. The update is described as allowing Gemini to use Gmail conversations as sources for responses, including summaries and cross-referenced workplace insights tied to the user’s questions. The change centers on how Gemini determines what information to consider: when enabled through the Drive-based Ask Gemini interface, Gmail threads can be included to help the assistant locate details that may be buried in email correspondence. Engadget frames the update as a way to reduce the effort required to search through emails, while Digital Trends emphasizes the broader capability to pull from Gmail for AI-generated answers and summaries within the Drive workflow. Both sources indicate that the feature is limited to Google AI subscribers and is intended to make it easier to connect email information with tasks performed in Drive.
