The feature is said to be “geared towards more detailed responses.” Gemini, an artificial intelligence tool developed by Google, “analyzes the context of an email” and suggests responses “that are relevant to your conversation.”
There will be 3 smart replies displayed as a carousel below the screen where you type Gmail content.
You can tap and hold each response to quickly view them. Responses will include a greeting, closing, and email body for you to edit further.
At launch, the feature will only support English and users will need to subscribe to one of the paid plans to use it.
Contextual intelligent responses are starting to roll out and will be fully functional in the coming weeks.
Previously, in mid-2023, Google tested an AI tool called "Help me write" that helps users in two main ways: editing the email they are writing or writing a completely new one based on request.
At launch, users will need to sign up for Google's Workspace Labs beta program to use the feature.
Users can give requests to the AI tool about the subject, email length, desired tone such as cheerful, polite... through text. When the results are not satisfactory, users can still add additional requests to get better results.
