Google is integrating its Gemini AI model more deeply into its products, with a new feature allowing Gemini in Google Drive to access and utilize specific Gmail threads for better context when answering user queries. This capability is part of the 'Ask Gemini' conversational interface within Google Drive, which enables users to ask questions about files stored in their Drive. Users can already specify particular files or folders to narrow down Gemini's search.
