The first (and, honestly, most interesting) update this week is &#8220;Tone and Style Personalization&#8221; to help Gemini. Google says that when it&#8217;s activated, the AI \u200b\u200bcan draft emails for you &#8220;that match the tone and style of emails you&#8217;ve previously written.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside data-block-type=\"embed\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\" class=\"hawk-root\"\/>\n<p id=\"elk-0f98d07f-830b-4be3-b428-7e9ece69d89c-2\">Basically, it&#8217;s like you&#8217;re writing it, but not really. The company provides a quick view of this before and after, showing just how &#8220;hardened&#8221; the AI \u200b\u200bis (today), you could say. With this personalization upgrade, it will look at how you&#8217;ve written things before and try to replicate that. Additionally, AI will start doing more of the work when drafting emails for you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-(10px) lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel=\"\" data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;DN0T9lx0&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;G5O3oM7X&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_G5O3oM7X_DN0T9lx0_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;G5O3oM7X&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_G5O3oM7X_DN0T9lx0_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;E6aJDdVBhQOK9yUjR2XHDAjmCkFhHLh1aRCd14ObqmgK6fel&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-(14px) py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header=\"\">\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-mobile\"\/><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest video from<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand inline-flex items-center\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"aspect-video w-full min-h-(200px) lg:min-h-(330px) relative overflow-hidden bg-black\" data-jwp-carousel-container=\"\">\n<div class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full items-center justify-center bg-white\" data-jwp-carousel-fallback=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/c8t5znsqpd1648225513.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/c8t5znsqpd1648225513.svg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/c8t5znsqpd1648225513.svg\" class=\"rounded-(var(--image--border-radius,0)) max-h-12 w-auto\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet=\"\" class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\">\n        <span class=\"&#10;            flex&#10;            after:content-('') after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-(0.7rem) after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-(#ccc)&#10;            before:content-('') before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-(0.7rem) before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-(#ccc)&#10;            font-article-heading pb-0 text-(length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)) uppercase sm:text-(length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)) font-bold&#10;        \"><\/p>\n<p>            you may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cTopic contextualization\u201d is Google&#8217;s official term for AI&#8217;s understanding of when to leverage your connected workspace apps to pull information.

Gemini will scan your emails to generate a quick summary based on what it&#8217;s seen.

Even if you don&#8217;t, it&#8217;s good. All I can really say is that if you are the former, make sure everything is as it should be. This is General AI after all. Mistakes may happen.
