Google recently put Gemini in gmail, which lets you one-click summarise an e-mail.
Most e-mails I get and send aren’t nearly long enough for them to need a summary. And if I send a long e-mail, it’s for a good fucking reason: it contains essential information.
I should probably build in some check - like a really random sentence to confuse an LLM - to make sure the recipient actually reads it.
