How to Use Email Summarization:
- Open an Email Thread:
- Navigate t your inbox and open a long email conversation.
- Activate Gemini:
- Click the Gemini AI icn (usually found in the toolbar; looks like a diamond).
- Select Summarize this thread.
- Oddly, it desn't just summarize it. You need to go to the bottom of the page on the right hand side and it has a prompt saying," Provide a more detailed summary of this email".
- Yu hit the return button to activate the prompt and it summarizes it for you.
- Review the Summary:
- Gemini prvides a concise overview of key discussions, action items, and deadlines.
- Refine with Prompts:
- If needed, ask Gemini t focus on specific aspects like “Show only action items” or “Summarize for my manager.” In other words, it can ask it follow up questions after it summarizes it for you. This can be pretty handy for long email chains.
- Just keep in mind that, like any AI these days, it can make mistakes, s it pays to verify any important details.
- Clear your History:
- The summary bx can get filled up so you may be seeing summaries from previous emails. But you can clear away the previous summaries by going up to the top and hitting the three vertical dots next to the right of the Gemini diamond.
- Click n those three dots and you'll see a "Clear History" choice. Once you do that, you get rid of all the previous summaries you had.
Play around and you'll get the hang of it so you can decide whether or not it's useful to you.
