Triage an inbox and plan a trip with Gemini Agent Mode
A writer had Gemini archive messages in 100+ unread emails and leave reply drafts, and describes it comparing hotel prices and holding a room.
- What They Did
- Amanda Caswell switched on Agent Mode in Gemini 3.1 Pro. For email, she asked it to review the last 24 hours of Gmail, summarize messages needing a reply, archive newsletters she had already seen, and draft a reply to the latest email. For travel, she asked for a Tokyo trip, and Gemini used Project Mariner to browse booking sites and compare live prices.
- How It Went
- She says Gemini actually archived the emails and left drafts waiting for her click. It compared prices and placed a 24-hour hold on a hotel room. The article gives no timings or measured results.
- Worth Knowing
- Agent Mode needs a Pro or Ultra subscription, and the article's drafts still wait for your final click before anything is sent.
Try it yourself with Gemini
Go through my [Gmail] inbox and archive anything that is a newsletter, receipt, or notification needing no reply from [date range or 'the last 100 unread']. For messages that need an answer, leave a draft reply in my voice but do not send anything. Then compare prices for hotels in [city] for [dates] under [budget] and show me the top three options; pause and ask before holding or booking any room. Finish with a short list of what you archived, drafted, and found.
