May. 11, 2023

Gmail Just Got Smarter With Generative AI

The “Help me write” feature will help you harness the potential of generative AI not only while composing emails, but also while replying to them. For example, let’s say you receive an email stating that your table reservation had been canceled and you are being offered a voucher for the inconvenience. However, you want a full refund. You can easily ask Google’s generative AI to write an appropriate response for you. All you need to do isprovide the AI with a prompt of your need and hit enter.

A draft of your request will be created instantly. The AI will recognize the context of your prompt and extract relevant information from the concerned email. You can edit the draft to make it more relevant and even ask the AI to write a much more persuasive email to help you better achieve your goal.

You can even composeAI-infused emails via Gmail.Let’s say you want to apply for a job but you are unsure about the tone you want to adopt to approach the recruiter. You can hit “Help me Write” to create any kind of draft based on your prompt input. You can create emails for different scenarios with generative AI, and customize them as per your taste and liking.

Another Google product that has got AI capabilities is Google Maps. With generative AI, Google is taking Immersive View, introduced last year, to the next level. The feature, dubbedImmersive View for routeswill let you experience your entire journey even before you embark on it.

With this, Google will create ahigh-fidelity 3D-mapped experiencefor your route to allow you to visualize every segment of your route. You can even check information like air quality, traffic, and weather updates in real time. The AI can even predict how information like weather, traffic, and air quality will change over time based on current information. Immersive View for routes will start rolling out to 15 cities later this year. Some of them are London, New York, Toko, and San Francisco.
