“Just type what you want — an email asking for a full refund — press Create, and the full draft appears,” Sundar said.

In that case, a more detailed email might increase your chances of getting a refund. ‘Help me write’ will start rolling out as part of Workspace updates . And just like Smart Compose, you’ll see it improve over time.”
