Gmail Now Has AI-Powered Autocomplete for Writing Emails

Google is ramping up its AI-powered offerings, and the ChatGPT effect appears to be in full force. Google’s AI capabilities are expanding and are now integrated into popular apps such as Docs and Gmail. A notable feature in Gmail is “Write for Me,” which can draft emails on behalf of users.

What is the “Help me write” feature?

The “Help Me Write” feature is a tool that can create entire email drafts for you based on simple prompts. It is currently available as part of the Workspace Labs program. If you are interested in joining the program, you can register online and express your interest.

How to use feature Gmail AI tool?

If you want Gmail to write your email using the “Write to Me” tool, do the following:

1. Open Gmail and click the Compose button.

2. At the bottom of the writing window, find the “Help me write” button and click it.

3. Enter a short description of what you want the email to say in the prompt box. For example, you can write “write an email for a vacation request” or “send an email explaining my absence from the event.”

4. Click Create and Gmail will create a draft of your email. You can edit the draft as needed.

5. When you are satisfied, click the “Add” option.

Important points to consider:

The goal of Google’s artificial intelligence technology is to save time and effort when writing emails. The “Write to Me” feature can also help you create more effective emails by providing a starting point and suggesting ways to improve your writing. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. The more specific the prompt, the better results you will get. Instead of writing “Email to a colleague”, try something like “Email my colleague Ryan about the presentation”.

2. Use the “Formalise”, “Elaborate” and “Shorten” buttons to adjust the tone and length of the draft.

3. The Update button creates a new draft if necessary.

4. The tool cannot handle requests that require special skills or expertise.

5. It is not suitable for writing confidential or sensitive emails.

Gmail’s new AI tool offers a convenient way to write emails efficiently and provide useful suggestions. Give it a try and let technology help you write your email.
