Google’s new ‘smart compose’ will help you write your emails


Following the big Gmail revamp, Google today announced another new feature for Gmail called “Smart Compose,” which will actually help you write your emails using machine learning technology.

As you type, Smart Compose pops up suggestions about what you might want to write next – similar to Google autocomplete.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai briefly demoed the technology on stage at the Google I/O developer conference this morning, showing how Smart Compose could finish sentences by suggesting text, including common phrases or even addresses.

“As the name suggests, we use machine learning to start suggesting phrases for you,” Pichai explained. “All you have to do is hit tab to keep auto-completing. In this case, it understands the subject is ‘taco Tuesday.’ It takes care of mundane things like addresses so you can focus on what you want to type,” he continued.

“I’ve been sending a lot more emails to the company. Not sure what they think of it, but it’s been great,” Pichai said.

The feature is rolling it out to all users this month.
