Imagine Google helping you write your email! I don’t think you can ever go wrong. The tech giant has introduced an AI-powered writing feature that helps users quickly refine existing work or get you started with something new in Google Docs and Gmail.
Designed to streamline the writing process, the tool, known as “Help me write,” has the capabilities of Duet AI for Google Workspace, enhancing how users craft emails and documents within Google Docs and Gmail.
Users can now bid adieu to the time-consuming chore of composing emails and documents from scratch. With “Help me write,” a range of options becomes available at the click of a button. Within Gmail, users can swiftly draft or reply to emails and select the “Help me write” button to access various options:
Write Your Draft: Craft your message using your own words, benefiting from the AI’s contextual understanding of email threads for relevant and coherent replies.
Formalize Your Draft: Adjust the tone of your draft to lend it a more formal touch.
Elaborate on Your Draft: Enhance your email with additional details to enrich the content.
Shorten Your Draft: Condense the length of your email draft while retaining its essence.
I’m Feeling Lucky: Infuse creativity into your content by exploring diverse tones and styles.
Efficiency at Your Fingertips
Google has ingeniously integrated this AI-driven writing tool into Google Docs as well. By merely providing a few words about the topic, a draft is instantaneously generated. Users can fine-tune the content further using options like changing the tone, summarizing, bulletizing, elaborating, shortening, retrying for a different draft, or even providing custom instructions.
The innovation doesn’t stop there. Google has seamlessly merged the power of Smart Canvas with “Help me write.” Users can now effortlessly incorporate smart chips, variables, and building blocks into their generated content. This integration is particularly valuable for including real-time data or customizing details like names and titles. This potent combination expedites the creation process, enabling users to transition smoothly from concept to completion without having to navigate away from their documents.
The impact of this feature is far-reaching, benefiting end users across various contexts. Whether you’re a recruiter fine-tuning a job description or an account executive crafting a sales pitch, “Help me write” simplifies the initial drafting phase, allowing you to focus on unleashing your creative ideas.
Administrators and end users will be pleased to know that this feature will be turned on by default. For administrators, there will be no admin control over this feature. The rollout has commenced, and it’s currently available for customers with the Duet AI for Google Workspace Enterprise add-on.
