The newly unveiled "Help me write" feature for Gmail can generate a complete email in response to user prompts. The feature will be included in Google Workspace updates in the coming months for both web and mobile users.
It is an upgrade over Smart Reply - short responses that one could select with just one click, and Smart Compose- offered writing suggestions as one type in the email, which the tech giant has introduced in past.
During the Google I/O event, chief executive officer Sundar Pichai Google explained that user can simply type in the prompt of what they want, for example - an email that asks for a full refund. “Hit on create, and a full draft will appear in front of you.”
