Google Messages to Summarize Shared Links with Insights Feature
Google Messages is introducing a new feature called Insights that uses Gemini AI to generate concise, three-point summaries of shared web links. This aims to save users from opening full web pages by providing quick, useful highlights.
How Insights Will Work
The Insights button in Google Messages will activate Gemini to create a brief, bullet-point summary of the linked content. Gemini can also search the web for additional information, but it will inform users if it performs an online search.
Gemini will offer standard disclaimers about AI-generated summaries and provide an option to explore the topic further.
Additional Details and Features
- The Insights function was spotted in Google Messages version 20251103 beta, revealing instructions that guide Gemini on summarizing content.
- A new toggle called "Explore link topics with Gemini" controls whether the Insights button appears.
- Users with Dual-SIM phones should be careful, as messages may accidentally be sent from the wrong number.
- Affiliate links on Android Authority may result in commissions for the website.
Summary
The feature aims to provide quick access to summarized link content, enhancing messaging convenience without needing to open separate web pages.
