Google has introduced AI Inbox in Gmail, using Gemini to prioritise important emails, surface key tasks, and help users manage growing inbox volumes more efficiently in 2026.

A task has a due date and a sense of progression. It can be marked complete; an email cannot. By turning emails into tasks, you don't just reorganize your inbox; you also convert your intent into an actionable structure. The approach also scales well. Be it a handful of emails a day or a hundred, the process remains the same.
