Smart Compose for Gmail is powered by AI and can write emails for you from scratch

The new feature predicts and suggests entire sentences as soon as one begins composing an email. It works in the background and can also suggest relevant contextual phrases based on the day, time or the email's subject.

Google announced a plethora of new features and services on the first day of its I/O developer conference. It was quite evident that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) will play a central role in the company’s upcoming offerings. Gmail for the web was recently overhauled after a long time and the company has now announced a new Smart Compose feature for it. It can be considered as an upgraded version of the Smart Reply feature, which was introduced last year, combined with predictive text, which is powered by AI. It allows users to draft emails from scratch and suggests complete sentences based on the user’s style and habit of drafting the mail.
