An APK teardown report published October 7, 2026, described task-related strings in Gmail for Android version 2026.09.28, pointing to a possible Gemini workflow in AI Inbox. The labels suggest a user could start a task, track its progress, provide input and review a result. Google has not announced a release date.
What the reported Gmail strings include
The reported labels include “Start with Gemini,” “View progress,” “Give input” and “Open task.” Three status labels are “In progress,” “Needs your input” and “Ready for Review.” Together, they suggest Gemini could work on a task, ask the user for more information and present a result for review.
For email, the reported option is “Draft Reply.”
What the task flow could mean
The labels sketch a possible handoff: start a suggested task, check its progress, respond if Gemini requests input, then review the result. The review label points to a human checkpoint in that proposed flow. The email-related label describes a draft.
What Gemini already does in Gmail
Gmail’s existing Gemini tools can summarize email threads, answer questions about inbox content, draft messages and proofread text. Those tools help with specific email tasks; the reported workflow points to a different, task-oriented way of working with AI Inbox.
