Google is expanding Gmail’s summary cards, the service’s AI-driven contextual snippets extracted for things like incoming packages, purchases, events, bills, and travel, with a new Happening Soon section at the top of your inbox showing upcoming time-sensitive cards, all updated in real time. Summary cards will include action buttons for convenience, enabling tracking of packages, viewing order details, keeping tabs on online orders, managing reservations, checking in for flights, and seeing hotel details. The release schedule for the new features is gradual, with purchase summary cards rolling out on Android and iOS beginning today, and cards for other categories and the Happening Soon section arriving in the coming months. The full summary card experience will be available in the future, so users will need to wait for these updates.
