Gmail Contextual Smart Replies
Gmail Contextual Smart Replies is the upgraded version of smart replies that we are currently using. However, with Gemini AI integration, Gmail will be able to provide users with more Contextual replies which are not only long but tailored to what email users have received. After its official announcement in May, Google is finally making the public for Gmail users.
According to a Google Blog post, the Gmail Contextual Smart Replies will provide users with response options which will be entirely based on the email thread. Users can also preview and edit the AI-generated responses before sending them. Google said, “Contextual Smart Replies, will offer more detailed responses to fully capture the intent of your message.”
