Following the announcement at I/O 2024, Google is now rolling out Contextual Smart Replies to Gmail for Android and iOS. Compared to Smart Reply, which dates back to 2017, the contextual version is “meant for detailed responses.” Gemini “can analyze the context of an email” and suggest replies that are “tailored to your conversation.” By Abner Li.
The three Smart Replies appear in a carousel, with the first line noting the high-level direction of each generated option and how they differ from one another. You can long-press on “each response to get a quick preview of the text.” Tapping inserts the suggestion, which includes a greeting and closing, into the body of the email for you to make further edits.
As of launch, only English is supported, while you need to be on one of the following paid tiers:
- Google One AI Premium
- Gemini Business, Enterprise, Education, Education Premium
Contextual Smart Replies are rolling out starting today and will be fully available in the coming weeks. Interesting read!
