We have a first glimpse of what it will look like Gmail for Android with its new generative artificial intelligence features.
Last week, Google announced with great fanfare the integration of AI into Gmail, as well as within its Docs, Sheets, Slides and Meet services. These new features should help boost user productivity, but are not yet available, their deployment being planned in the coming months.
Automatic creation of emails
The publication 9To5Google has decompiled the latest version of the Gmail app released on the Play Store to derive information about future features that are still in testing. The outlet was able to unlock features that were in development and posted several screenshots of them.
As you can see from the images below, a button “Help me write” (Help me write) appeared at the bottom right of the writing field when composing an email. By pressing it, a text box opens in which you must offer a prompt to Gmail, so that the app can write an email from A to Z.
The mention the reference “Keep writing to create insight” appears when the prompt is not long or precise enough for the AI to compose a relevant email. It disappears when your instructions become precise enough, and the button ” Create “ then becomes clickable to launch the creation of the mail.
Text enhancement options
A function to refine its message is also in preparation. If you have already started writing your email, this option will improve, correct and clarify your text. It is possible to require a new version of the text if the first one proposed by the AI does not suit you. A thumbs up and thumbs down system is used to give AI text a rating.
So here’s what we should have access to later this year. Generating text on Gmail and Docs is the first big step on Google’s timeline for integrating new AI capabilities into its products and services.
