Heres everything AI coming to Google Gmail

At Google I/O, the company unveiled a major push to infuse AI deeper into Gmail. The tech giant is promising users that the change will translate to less time spent writing emails and more time doing literally anything else. With the help of Gemini, Google’s flagship AI model, Gmail is moving from a helpful assistant to a full-on writing partner, scheduler, and inbox manager.

Here are all the new Gemini-powered features coming this summer to Gmail.

Smart replies

Google’s first big update is personalized smart replies. Unlike the canned one-liners we’re used to (“Sounds good,” “Thanks!”), this new system draws context from your inbox and Google Drive. It adapts to your tone — whether you’re casual or formal — and pulls in relevant details, so replies feel more natural.

In a demo, a dog groomer named Stephanie replies to customers without typing a word. Gemini generates answers in her voice, grabs appointment details from past messages, and inserts pricing from her Drive files. It’s fast, frictionless, and a little uncanny.

Decluttering

Next comes inbox cleanup, the kind of task we all put off. Gemini can now archive and delete emails on command. Ask it to clear out last month’s confirmations, and your inbox refreshes itself — no clicks required.

It’s undeniably useful, especially for anyone buried in years of digital clutter.

Meeting scheduling

Depending on who you ask, native appointment booking in Gmail might be the most practical new feature announced. No more bouncing between email threads and Calendar tabs — now, when Gemini detects you're trying to set up a meeting, it’ll prompt you to insert availability directly into your reply.

This feature could be handy when coordinating with people outside your organization. Recipients can book directly via your shared booking page.

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...

A speeding black hole is birthing baby stars across light years

Astronomers think they have discovered a supermassive black hole traveling away from its home galaxy at 4 million mph — so fast it's not doing what it's notorious for: sucking light out of the universe. Quite the opposite, possibly. Rather than ripping stars to shreds and swallowing up every morsel, this black hole is believed to be fostering new star formation, leaving a trail of newborn stars stretching 200,000 light-years through space . Pieter van Dokkum, an astronomy professor at Yale University, said as the black hole rams into gas, it seems to trigger a narrow corridor of new stars, where the gas has a chance to cool. How exactly it works, though, isn't known, said van Dokkum, who led research on the phenomenon captured by NASA 's Hubble Space Telescope accidentally. A paper on the findings was published last week in The Astrophysical Journal Letters . “What we’re seeing is the aftermath," he said in a statement . "Like the wake behind a ship, we’r...
