Gmail and Google Docs get creative AI features, public testing started
Google is bringing generative AI features to Gmail and Docs users, and this week it has begun public testing of the tools before rolling them out to all eligible Workspace users.
Google has launched this testing in the US market where customers, businesses and educational users are invited to try the upcoming features. Google says a select group of users must consent to participate in the testing by signing up and can opt out at any time.
What do generative AI features promise for Gmail and Google Docs users? Google tells Gmail users that new AI tools can help them draft a cover letter for a job interview or write birthday invitations with design and style from scratch. Gmail also uses artificial intelligence technology to simplify your notes, adding bullet points to make your summary look more presentable.
There are some custom options where Gmail can add emoji to change the attractiveness of the content if needed. The test is done through Gmail on Android, and the user interface of the new features is placed at the bottom right of the screen.
If you use Docs a lot, AI will help you write blogs or even song lyrics. Docs also has a special “Help me write” option that serves different AI-generated content and lets you decide what works best. Google is gradually increasing the size of the testing sample, but the good thing is that you don’t have to sign up for a waiting list, which is what people had to deal with when trying to use Google’s Bard AI chatbot recently.
The company has lagged behind OpenAI and Microsoft in this space, which has already integrated ChatGPT 4.0 into Bing search, the Edge browser, and even Microsoft Office applications.
