Google Opens Gemini Flows for Gmail, Capping AI Processing at 2,000 Emails a Month

Summary
Google has expanded Gemini Flows in Gmail to Google Workspace users and paid Gemini subscribers, letting AI scan incoming messages and automate labeling, drafting and other workflow tasks.
The tool works through Workspace Studio triggers such as "when I get an email," giving Gmail a more flexible AI-driven alternative to traditional rules-based filters.
The catch is strict usage caps: Google AI Pro users get 2,000 flow executions a month, while the $100-a-month AI Ultra tier tops out at 10,000.
Those limits start being enforced on July 1, ending promotional access and potentially making the feature impractical for heavy inboxes that receive several thousand emails a week.
Google positions Flows as a broader Workspace automation feature across Chat, Docs and Meet, but in Gmail its usefulness may depend on whether users fall into a mid-volume "Goldilocks" range.
