8: Gmail + Gemini

Gmail is entering the Gemini era we're bringing Gmail into the Gemini era and making it your personal, proactive inbox assistant. .......... AI Overviews. ........ Just like they do in Google Search, AI Overviews turn information into answers without the digging. When you open an email with dozens of replies, Gmail synthesizes the entire conversation into a concise summary of key points. ........... “Who was the plumber that gave me a quote for the bathroom renovation last year?” Gemini’s advanced reasoning pulls the answer, instantly summarizing the exact details you need. .......... Starting today, everyone can use Help Me Write to polish emails or draft them from scratch. There are also new Suggested Replies (an update to Smart Replies) which use the context of your conversation to offer relevant, one-click responses that match how you write. ......... AI Inbox is like having a personalized briefing, highlighting to-dos and catching you up on what matters. It helps you prioritize, identifying your VIPs based on signals like people you email frequently, those in your contacts list and relationships it can infer from message content. ........... This lets high-stakes items — like a bill due tomorrow or a dentist reminder — rise to the top. We’re giving trusted testers access to AI Inbox before making it more broadly available in the coming months. ..............

Many of these improvements are made possible by Gemini 3.

The AI-Era Browser Is Not a Browser—It’s the Beginning of a New Operating System

AI-Era Web Browser, Brought To You By Perplexity


The AI-Era Browser Is Not a Browser—It’s the Beginning of a New Operating System

The AI-era browser is a misnomer. What’s emerging isn’t just a better web browser—it’s the gateway to a radical redefinition of computing itself. If the browser was once a portal to the internet, the AI-era "browser" collapses the distinction between application, operating system, and assistant. This isn’t Chrome 2.0. It’s Windows, Google Docs, and Outlook all dissolving into one ambient, intelligent workspace.

The Collapse of Layers

For decades, computing has been organized around layers: the OS (Windows/macOS/Linux), the browser (Chrome, Safari), applications (Office, Gmail, Slack), and finally the content layer (documents, email threads, web pages). But AI flattens these distinctions.

Why open an email app when your AI assistant already synthesized the message and extracted the tasks into your workspace? Why switch between browser tabs when your AI knows the context of your work and surfaces relevant research in a single view? The AI-era browser isn’t a tabbed chaos engine—it’s a cognitive environment.

From Search to Presence

The old web browser was built for searching, clicking, and consuming. The AI-era browser is built for presence, action, and decision-making. It's not something you “use”—it's something that lives with you, learns you, and acts with you.

At the core of this transformation is ambient computing: the seamless blending of device, interface, and intention. You’re not just typing into a box anymore. You’re engaging with an intelligence that understands your project, your goals, your calendar, your files, your team, and your knowledge graph.

Email, Meet Your End

AI doesn't just triage your inbox—it eliminates the need for one. Conversations become actions. Notifications become workflows. Email as a separate silo becomes obsolete when your assistant already summarized the key points and turned them into decisions. You don’t open Gmail. You just approve, edit, or delegate within your fluid workstream.

OS + Browser + Workspace = One

This is why calling it a “browser” misses the point. What’s being birthed is a unified interface layer—a meta-OS—that sits atop everything and integrates all. In time, it might replace the OS itself. Imagine a workspace that flows across devices, geographies, and mediums, tied together by persistent AI memory and personal context. This is not Chrome vs. Edge. This is post-OS computing.

Intersections Ahead

Interesting intersections are fast approaching:

  • LLMs meet filesystems – No more folders. Just ideas and relationships.

  • Personal knowledge graphs – Everything you’ve ever read, written, or watched, organized by context.

  • Agentic workflows – AI agents don’t just fetch; they act, iterate, and improve.

  • Persistent memory + spatial UI – A workspace that remembers, visualizes, and adapts.

The End of the App Era

Apps were the natural interface for the touchscreen generation. But now, instead of apps, we’ll have roles and functions powered by agents. Instead of “opening Zoom,” your AI connects you to the right person and manages the meeting. Instead of “opening Word,” your assistant begins drafting based on voice notes, research context, and prior documents. The app metaphor is dying. Workflows are what matter now.

Final Thought: The AI-Era Browser Is a Transitional Name

“Browser” is just the label we’re using because it’s familiar. But it’s like calling the Model T a “horse-drawn carriage.” What we’re seeing is the emergence of a new computing layer—part assistant, part memory, part workspace, all integrated. It’s the start of a new human-machine interface, one that transcends the keyboard, the mouse, and even the screen.

We are witnessing not the next browser war—but the dawn of the post-browser age. The future isn’t in tabs. It’s in tasks, context, and intelligent presence.

Welcome to the era of AI-native computing.

Revolutionizing Email: From Chronological Chaos to Smart AI Agents



Revolutionizing Email: From Chronological Chaos to Smart AI Agents

Email has come a long way since its inception. Hotmail wasn’t revolutionary because it invented email—email, after all, predates the web. It was revolutionary because it brought email online, freeing us from the confines of specific devices. Then came Gmail, which redefined the game by seamlessly integrating search functionality and offering significantly more storage space. But now, it’s time for the next evolution: marrying artificial intelligence (AI) with email.

Rethinking Chronological Organization

Email has traditionally been organized chronologically, and for a long time, this made sense. But in today’s fast-paced world, this system often feels outdated and overwhelming. AI has the potential to change that by tailoring email organization to our specific needs.

Imagine an inbox that adjusts itself based on your activities. In the morning, your emails might still appear chronologically, helping you quickly scan what came in overnight. But during deep work sessions, AI could surface only the emails most relevant to your current tasks, prioritizing context over time.

AI for Reading and Writing Emails

The integration of AI for email composition and reading is already underway, but there’s room to take it further. Think of AI not just as a helper for grammar checks or quick replies but as a full-fledged collaborator. For example:

  • Drafting detailed responses based on brief prompts.
  • Summarizing lengthy email threads into concise action points.
  • Highlighting key details from long emails so you don’t miss critical information.

Enter the AI Agent

The future of email might not just involve a smarter inbox but also a team of AI agents working tirelessly behind the scenes. These agents could:

  • Declutter Your Inbox: Automatically identify and delete emails of a certain description—think spam, outdated promotions, or irrelevant updates.
  • Create Dynamic Inboxes: Organize emails into smart, purpose-driven folders without you lifting a finger.
  • Prioritize Intelligently: Surface emails from key contacts or urgent matters at just the right time.

These AI agents wouldn’t just manage your email; they’d transform your experience of it, making it less overwhelming and more intuitive.

The Smart Inbox of the Future

In this new paradigm, your inbox wouldn’t just be a passive repository for messages. It would become an active assistant, understanding your needs and adapting to your workflow. No more sifting through hundreds of messages to find the one that matters. No more endless toggling between folders.

The smart inbox, powered by AI and AI agents, promises to make email a tool that works for you—not the other way around.

The Bottom Line

Just as Hotmail and Gmail ushered in new eras of email innovation, AI has the potential to redefine how we interact with email altogether. The next time you feel overwhelmed by your inbox, imagine a future where your email experience is tailored to you, effortless, and stress-free. That future is closer than you think.

Paul Graham Asks For Disqus 2.0 Or A Disqus Disruptor







Or how to listen when everyone is talking? This is like the email inbox problem. What is the solution? There is only solution for those who get manageable amounts of email. If you get a HUGE (Trump word) amount of email, I am not sure there is a solution. Similarly online, forget teaching people etiquette. You can restrict membership, or you can restrict comments to people who are willing to reveal their real ID, but if you are opening up the floodgates, I am sorry but we are not talking technology, we are talking human nature and human behavior. After DARPA (or Tim Berners-Lee or whoever, or maybe Paul Graham, Al Gore) invented the Internet, Julia Roberts discovered people hated her! We can improve upon it. Like Gmail has become so much better with five inboxes. But I don't see a "cure" to online flaming. Except, maybe, ignore what you don't like. See no evil, hear no evil.

Ingress: Many Many Teams But Only Two Global Teams



There are some basic premises.

(1) This is a game. It is supposed to be fun. This is not a corporate project. There is no boss. Much of the fun in the game comes from the human interactions and the human frailties.

(2) The number one rule in Ingress leadership is you can't tell anyone what to do. But with their consent you can suggest things and share tips and wisdom.

(3) There are only two global teams possible. That is just the way the game has been designed.

Both sides already have started with city teams. The city teams on both sides all over the world cropped up pretty much independent of each other. So the challenge is not what you do when more than one team shows up. The challenge is how do you bring about communication and coordination among teams across a country, a continent, perhaps to span the globe.

There is room for multiple Resistance teams in New York City. I think team building should be encouraged. First of all it is a scalability issue. A G+ group past 500 members does not make a lot of sense. Maybe 200 is a healthy number. Beyond that a group, any group, should do an amoeba split. When you move from 500 to 2,000 agents in the city, some neighborhoods will qualify to have their own groups. Borough groups will no longer be enough. I know I want a Greater Jackson Heights group.

I have met many agents whom I have told, "My team is not the right team for you, you should join the other team." The Squad is not for everyone.

There is a cross faction hangout that popped up in my Gmail yesterday, and most of the usual suspects showed up, chief among them the Keyser. Maybe there is room for a cross-faction squad, and there is room for The Squad to coordinate with the existing organized Resistance team(s) in the city.

At some point the city might graduate to having rival L8 farms sitting side by side, permanently, because we want to seek new challenges other than building and killing L8 farms. Similarly the teams in the city will perhaps graduate to thinking team building is a welcome phenomenon. It is just like farm building, or home territory building. The goal should be communication and coordination, not name calling on the COMM.
