Tech giant Google has introduced a major artificial intelligence update to its popular email platform, Gmail. The company has launched a new AI Inbox feature that will not only read emails but also handle a variety of tasks, from drafting emails to creating to-do lists. Its goal is to transform Gmail into a smart task management workspace.
AI Inbox will understand a user's email patterns, language, and context to separate important and non-essential emails. After reading each email, it will identify the task at hand such as replying to someone, following up, or remembering a deadline. The AI will then automatically create a to-do list and, if necessary, create a draft reply. This will significantly reduce the need for users to read each email in detail.
"I'm getting out..." This short phone call proved to be a turning point in the Kapsad murder case. As soon as the main accused, Paras Som, made this call to a friend, the police surveillance team became alert.
Paras's mobile phone was already under surveillance. Immediately after the call was intercepted, the Meerut police contacted the Haridwar police and formulated a strategy to surround the area in Roorkee.
