1
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Google on Veil's a brand new Gmail. Mrich Tomirow. This

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: is Rich on Tech Daily. Google says it's time for

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: a refresh, and that's exactly what it's doing today with Gmail.

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: The company is revamping the look and feel of Gmail

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: on the web and in their apps, and they're adding

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: lots of new useful features. Yeah, it's gonna take some

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: getting used to, but I think you're gonna like some

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: of them. It all looks inspired by Inbox, which was

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: Google's last attempt to revamp Gmail, but that never really

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: took off. It was optional, so not everyone switched to it.

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: But I think Google picked the best features out of

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: there and built them into the new Gmail. It seems

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: like these changes will go live for everyone at some point.

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: Right now, I still don't have access to the new inbox,

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: but you can check for access by going to Gmail,

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: clicking the little settings gear in the upper right hand

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: corner of your email list, and then looking for Try

18
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: the new Gmail, and don't worry. If you try you

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: don't like it, you can always go back for now. Okay,

20
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: so the first thing you'll notice is that files and

21
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: photos are surfaced front and center in your inbox. So

22
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: this is really handy. Let's say you have a big,

23
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,279
Speaker 1: long conversation with someone, right a chain back and forth,

24
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: and at some point you asked for a file they

25
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: sent it to you. Well, now instead of looking through

26
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: all those different emails in that chain for that file,

27
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: you'll just be able to see it front and center

28
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: in your inbox, so that's really easy. Next up, you'll

29
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: notice a snooze button, which is really handy. Basically, if

30
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: you get an email that you don't want to deal

31
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: with right now, you can snooze it just like you

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: would an alarm, and it will pop up again at

33
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: a later time, and you can say when you want

34
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: that to pop up, whether it's morning, afternoon, evening, or

35
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: maybe a specific time as well, so that's really cool.

36
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: There's also finally a dedicated tasks app. So I don't

37
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: know how you operate, but basically, as I'm going through

38
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: my email, I'm building a to do list off of

39
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: my emails, and that requires a lot of different things

40
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: different apps. I write some of them down in a planner,

41
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: but now that there's a dedicated tasks app, I can

42
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: finally cut and paste little pieces of information that I need,

43
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: things I need to do, and it's all integrated with Gmail.

44
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: Now there is a separate app. It's called Google Tasks.

45
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: You can download it right now in Android or iOS.

46
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: But the cool thing is that you can also get

47
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: a one click link to it right inside Gmail. There's

48
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: also a part of Keep that is right in Gmail,

49
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: so now you kind of have one screen for all

50
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: of your organization and productivity. I love that. Another future

51
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: I think I'll love is the nudge. So how many

52
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: times have you had a back and forth conversation with

53
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: someone and then all of a sudden, one of you

54
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: goes silent. Most of the time, it's me because I

55
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: just forget. Well, this is really cool because Gmail will

56
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: notice that you are talking back and forth and you

57
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: didn't say anything for like a couple of days. So

58
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: Gmail will actually nudge you to respond to that message.

59
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: One of the futures I love on mobile is now

60
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: available on the web. It's called smart Reply. Google basically

61
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: scans your messages that you're getting and will come up

62
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: with certain replies, so they call them smart replies. It'll say,

63
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: if someone says, hey, let's do lunch Friday at eleven,

64
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: it might sugg asked, sure, no, can't make that, or

65
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: how about Friday at twelve and all you have to

66
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: do is tap once and you can send that right

67
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: on to the person. I find these really handy. Another

68
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: feature high priority notifications on mobile. So basically Gmail is

69
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: going to figure out which are the most important messages

70
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: and then send only those notifications to your phone. And

71
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: this is pretty smart because a lot of times the

72
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: first thing I do at Gmail is turn off all

73
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: notifications on my phone because I just get too many

74
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: of them. But if they can surface just important emails

75
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: from like my boss, or my wife or certain friends,

76
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: that'd be really cool. Gmail is also going to start

77
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: suggesting when you should unsubscribe from newsletters if you don't

78
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: read one for a while, or maybe offers you no

79
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: longer care about. There's gonna be big bold warnings about

80
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: suspicious emails, so that's really smart. A lot of times

81
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: these phishing emails look pretty sly they slip into the inbox,

82
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: once in a while, there will be big bold red

83
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: warnings to say, don't do anything with this email. And finally,

84
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: the feature that a lot of people talked about because

85
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: it was rumored for a while now confidential mode. So

86
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: this will allow you to remove the option to forward, copy, download,

87
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: or print messages. So let's say you're sending something that's

88
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: sensitive via email, like I don't know, a copy of

89
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: your driver's license or a tax return or your Social

90
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: Security number. You can say this message is not able

91
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: to be forwarded or copied, or downloaded or printed, or

92
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: you can make it expire after a set amount of time. Now,

93
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: I gotta say all this with the caveat of think

94
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: about it. Anything that is sent through email can be screenshot.

95
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: The person on the other ends could take a picture

96
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: of it. So confidential mode does not mean it's fool proof.

97
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: It just means it's a little bit tougher to forward

98
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: to a bunch of people. Google says, as of today,

99
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: certain people are going to start getting it. But here's

100
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: the deal, these things always roll out slowly. If you

101
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: want to try to get it right now again, you

102
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: can click that little settings gear in the upper right

103
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: hand corner of your email and look for try the

104
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: new Gmail and again. You can go back at this point,

105
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: but at some point you probably won't be able to.

106
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: I can't wait to dive into the new Gmail. Tell

107
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: me what you think. I'm on Twitter at rich Tamuro
