Google has moved its Ask Gemini in Drive feature out of beta and into general availability for qualifying Workspace and AI subscribers. The tool, first teased in March, now pulls data from Gmail in addition to Drive files, letting users query email threads alongside documents. Eligibility requires an AI Pro, Ultra, Business, or Enterprise subscription.

To use the new source, users select Gmail in the left‑hand pane of Drive, then click the Ask Gemini button at the top right. They can pose natural‑language requests such as “find the email where I received approval for the Jenkins project,” and the model scans messages, attachments and linked files to surface the relevant thread and return the exact message date.

Google says the integration supports high‑context, multi‑turn conversations, giving professionals a unified view of business data across emails, files and folders. By grounding answers in context of a user’s workspace, AI reduces time spent hunting for information and cuts risk of missing details. Testers say they find target emails in seconds rather than minutes. The feature is now generally available to all eligible plans.
