Dear Reader, 👋

The way we manage our emails is about to change forever. Google just announced a massive AI overhaul for Gmail, turning your messy inbox into a personalized personal assistant that actually "thinks" for you. From summarizing long threads to finding that one specific receipt from three years ago using simple questions, the future of work just got a lot quieter.

Flipped.ai's weekly newsletter reaches over 75,000 professionals, innovators, and decision-makers worldwide. At Flipped.ai, we are dedicated to bridging the gap between human talent and AI efficiency, ensuring you stay ahead in an ever-evolving digital landscape. Our newsletter is your curated guide to the tools that matter most.

Let's dive in! 👇

The free newsletter making HR less lonely

The best HR advice comes from people who’ve been in the trenches.

That’s what this newsletter delivers.

I Hate it Here is your insider’s guide to surviving and thriving in HR, from someone who’s been there. It’s not about theory or buzzwords — it’s about practical, real-world advice for navigating everything from tricky managers to messy policies.

Every newsletter is written by Hebba Youssef — a Chief People Officer who’s seen it all and is here to share what actually works (and what doesn’t). We’re talking real talk, real strategies, and real support — all with a side of humor to keep you sane.

Because HR shouldn’t feel like a thankless job. And you shouldn’t feel alone in it.

The end of "Inbox anxiety": Meet the AI inbox

We’ve all been there staring at hundreds of unread emails, wondering what actually needs our attention. Google is solving this with a new AI inbox tab.

Think of this as a "high-level briefing" of your life. It splits your mail into two simple sections:

  • Suggested To-Dos: It pulls out priority tasks, like a bill due tomorrow or a doctor’s appointment you forgot to confirm.

  • Topics to Catch Up On: It groups your life into categories like "Finances" or "Purchases." You can see your Lululemon return status and your bank statements at a glance without opening a single folder.

The best part? You don't have to lose your old layout. You can toggle this view on and off whenever you need to cut through the noise.

Search like you’re talking to a friend

Stop scrolling through endless threads to find a specific detail. With AI overviews in search, you can now ask Gmail natural questions like: "Who was the plumber who gave me a quote for the bathroom last year?"

The AI "scours" your personal memory bank (your emails) and gives you a direct answer at the top of the screen. No more keyword guessing; just instant answers.

A personal editor in your pocket: The proofread feature

Google is taking on tools like Grammarly with its new Proofread feature. Instead of just checking spelling, it looks at your "vibe" and clarity.

  • It suggests making your sentences more concise.

  • It fixes "active voice" issues.

  • It helps you sound more professional with one click.

Whether you're writing a high-stakes pitch or a quick update, this ensures you sound like the best version of yourself.

AI for everyone: What’s now free?

In a huge move, Google is bringing features that were once "Paid Only" to all users. You can now access:

  1. Help me write: Type a simple prompt, and Gmail drafts the entire email for you.

  2. Thread summaries: Get a quick bulleted summary of those long, 20-reply email chains.

  3. Smart suggested replies: These now match your specific tone and style, making "Quick Replies" actually sound like you.

The bottom line: Why this matters

These updates aren't just "cool tech" they are time-savers. By automating the boring parts of email (sorting, searching, and drafting), you can spend more time on the work that actually requires your unique human creativity.
