When compared to the previous smart replies option in Gmail, these smart replies are more thorough and provide additional context.
When Google announced that it will be releasing Gemini side panels for Gmail and its other Workspace applications, the company also disclosed that its generative artificial intelligence chatbot will, in the future, be able to provide contextual smart replies for its email service. At this point, the corporation has made that feature available to the public. You can react to messages in Gmail in a rapid and impersonal manner using smart replies, which have been available since 2017. This feature allows you to respond to messages even when you are in a rush or on the move. However, these responses that are generated by a machine are quite limited, and they are typically just one-liners that convey to the recipient that you comprehend what they are saying or that you agree with whatever it is that they are suggesting.
All of the information contained inside the email thread is taken into consideration by the new smart replies that are generated by Gemini. Even though you might still need to make some changes to them if you want them to be as similar to anything you would write as feasible, they are more thorough and more personable than what you would write. When you reply through the Gmail app, various response options will appear at the bottom of the screen. This feature will become available to you once it is implemented. Simply move your mouse pointer over each of them to obtain a comprehensive preview before selecting the one that you believe will provide the most effective response.
In the event that you possess a Gemini Business, Enterprise, Education, or Education Premium add-on, or if you have a Google One AI Premium membership, you will be granted access to the feature. According to Google, it may take up to fifteen days before you see Gemini’s smart replies in your app. To ensure that you see them, make sure that you have checked the box next to “Smart features and personalization” on the Settings tab of your Gmail account.
