Yahoo Adds New AI Features to Mail App in Attempt to Up Usage

Yahoo is rolling out new artificial intelligence features for its email platform in an effort to better engage one of its fast-growing subset of users: Gen Z and millennials.

The company on Thursday said it’s bringing AI features to its Mail service aimed at simplification. A new gamified “Catch Up” feature will provide AI-powered summaries and email previews to give users the option to “delete” or “keep in inbox.” The feature is the first in a series of changes marking the biggest upgrade the Mail app has seen in a decade.
