Google has revealed an innovative AI companion for Gmail designed to revolutionize the way users draft and personalize their emails.
This announcement was made during the Google Cloud Next ’23 event, where the company showcased its latest advancements.
The focal point of this update is the AI-powered companion named Duet AI, which is now available for Workspace users. Duet AI is poised to offer comprehensive support across multiple areas such as meetings, documents, and Google Chat.
The most exciting development is its integration with Gmail, where it aims to elevate the utility of the existing smart reply feature.
With the simple tap of a button, Duet AI empowers users to compose extended and tailored email messages.
Google has elucidated further on the operational mechanics of this feature for Workspace users. Both web and mobile users of Gmail who are exploring Duet AI will find a prominently placed “Help me write” button at their disposal. Activation of this button grants users access to an array of writing aids and options.
Notably, Duet AI exhibits the capability to utilize a user’s own expressions to formulate email content. By comprehending the contextual cues within ongoing email threads, the AI can adeptly construct replies that harmonize with the present conversation.
Moreover, users can leverage this AI functionality to cultivate a formal tone or amplify the content’s intricacy by incorporating additional particulars.
Alternatively, users seeking conciseness in their email drafts can conveniently truncate the length.
As an engaging and slightly whimsical addition, Google introduces the “I’m Feeling Lucky” feature. It offers users various playful variations in tone and style for their drafted email content.
Google has also disclosed plans to implement a comparable “Help me write” feature in Docs. This tool will enable users to manipulate the tone, summarize sections, integrate bullet points, and more.
