What it does
GPT for Gmail is an add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace that helps write email. It drafts replies from the prompt you give it, and the listing says it also uses the context of your past emails. The listing names models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral and Perplexity as the AI behind it. Besides replying in one click, it can rephrase, improve, correct, simplify and translate email text, summarize incoming messages, and work from email templates and custom prompt instructions. The listing mentions support for more than 40 languages and a sidebar in the Gmail interface. An update note mentions support for running it on iOS and Android, and the listing says no OpenAI key is needed. Its permissions include managing drafts and sending email when you interact with it, and connecting to an external service. The listing is inconsistent about data access, saying in one place that no access to your emails is required and elsewhere asking you to allow access to email data for reply context, so check the permissions before installing.
