IT之家 October 7 news: Tech media Android Authority reported today that an APK teardown of the latest version of the Gmail app (v2026.09.28) shows that Google may be adding a Gemini agent to Gmail,allowing users to automatically reply to emails via AI。
IT之家 learned from the original report that multiple pieces of related code have already appeared in the latest version of the Gmail app. Through these hidden comments, we can see that after the feature launches, the AI inbox may display a "Use Gemini" button next to to-do items. When the user taps it, Gemini can view the inbox, and if it encounters an email that needs a reply, the UI may pop up a "Draft a reply" option.
Also, when the AI cannot determine the next step, it will seek the user's help,some emails will also require manual confirmation before being sent. Related strings show that for tasks requiring user input or confirmation, the feature may display a "Needs your input" status. The user can then tap a "Provide input" button to give Gemini the specific information needed to complete the task.
