Language and Availability
Currently, Gmail Q&A is only available in English, with Google planning to expand language support over time.
It’s also important to note that Gmail Q&A is exclusive to Google Workspace customers, specifically those subscribed to the following add-ons:
- Gemini Business
- Enterprise
- Education
- Education Premium
- Google One AI Premium
Google has stated that the rollout will occur over the next 15 days, so iOS users should gain access by mid-October 2024. As of now, the feature is not available on desktops or tablets.
Final Thoughts
Gmail Q&A is a powerful new addition for iOS users, leveraging the power of Gemini AI to enhance email management and productivity.
However, its exclusivity to Google Workspace customers limits its accessibility to general Gmail users.
Nevertheless, this marks a significant step in AI integration within everyday tools.
